@cscalpolymom, having that many AP credits is especially helpful for registration for classes, especially if those credits are in the pre-requisites for his major.

My daughter (Comp Eng) was in a very similar position, and it is very useful as she is at least one quarter ahead of her colleagues, hence classes with pre-requisites are a lot easier for her to get into (less competition). In her case CalPoly also did everything for her to give her all the AP credit.

She is 40% done with her degree at the end of her freshman year. Your son would now have the option to either take a regular 16 units loads each quarter and graduate early, or take a lighter load but get better grades and graduate on time. My daughter is strongly considering a quarter abroad to broaden her experience.

The one thing to know for other kids, CalPoly is not good at all at giving IB credit.
