<p>I know that AP Bio/Chem/Physics can excuse you from taking a Category III general education course. AP European History, AP Calculus AB/BC, and AP Gov might get you out of something too, but I’m not sure. Even if your AP courses don’t get general education classes out of the way, they will count as transfer credit and thus should contribute toward the 128-unit requirement. Important note: Check with your adviser often or go online through OASIS to confirm the credit that you are receiving.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter which freshman orientation you go to because USC reserves a certain number of spots for each orientation. Now some classes you won’t be able to take anyway because the sophomores, juniors, and seniors will have already registered for them. But in terms of freshman registration, the specific orientation you attend does not give you an advantage or disadvantage.</p>
<p>You are talking about Rate My Porfessors at [University</a> of Southern California - California](<a href=“http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/SelectTeacher.jsp?sid=1381]University”>http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/SelectTeacher.jsp?sid=1381). I believe that one should always check this site before one registers for classes because in my opinion, the professor makes (or breaks) the class.</p>
