AP tests must be taken before admission??

<p>I’ve applied to Berkeley and I plan to take AP tests in May. When I was checking Berkeley’s AP policy, I found this:</p>

<p>"These tests must have been taken before admission to the College of Letters and Science. "
link: <a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/faq/ap.html[/url]”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/faq/ap.html&lt;/a&gt; (if u go to College Board for AP policy of Berkeley u will find this link)</p>

<p>So does that mean that AP credits earned by taking tests in May will not count if students are admitted to Berkeley in fall semester, 2009? </p>

<p>thx!</p>

<p>The best person to answer that question would be someone at the e-mail address at the bottom of the page that you linked to.</p>

<p>That being said, my best guess is that the phrasing is weird, but that May 2009 tests would count for Berkeley enrollees for the freshmen class of 2009-10.</p>

<p>Things might have changed since I was in college a number of years back, but if I remember correctly, I was accepted into the College of Arts & Sciences (different unversity, admittedly) when I got my university acceptance, but that I wasn’t considered admitted until either I started signing up for classes or until I started attending classes (I think it was the latter). So technically, the AP Exams should occur before you start attending classes (and it was borderline with when I actually signed up for classes).</p>

<p>thanks, mathprof.
so u were saying that “admission” in that sentence should mean “enrollment”?(and that’s also the way I’d like it to be…)
u know, decisions of admission at Berkeley will be notified in late March… The notification date apparently precedes AP exams… which are held once a year.</p>

<p>There really is an email address at the bottom of that page… I’ll try to contact someone</p>
