pixeljig, you may have misread the info above. Neither AP Psych or AP USH waive any core requirements. AP Psych waives a pre-requisite (PSYC 100) for PSYC majors, but no GE requirement. Only AP European Hist or Art Hist will waive GE Cat 1, USH does not waive any requirement - it receives elective credit only.

The AP English Lang and Lit will not waive any requirements, but they will be granted 4 units of elective credit for each score of 4 or 5 - as do all other AP Courses passed with a score of 4 or 5 up to a moximim of 32 units total.

I’ll re-post from above the APs that waive general education requirements:

For students pursuing the regular General Education requirements:

-A score of 4 or 5 on **a foreign language AP **waives the third semester FL requirement.-A score of 4 or 5 on AP Art (History) or AP History (European) waives the GE Cat 1 Western Cultures and Traditions.
-A score of 4 or 5 on AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics (B), AP Physics (C- Mechanics) or AP Physics (C- Electricity/Magnetism) waives the GE Cat 3 Scientific Inquiry.
You say he has AP Physics - if he received a score of 4 or 5 that should waive the GE Cat 3 Scientific Inquiry.

Also shown in the above post, his AP Math course may waive some math pre-requisites for his major. Check the AP Articulation web page for complete info: [USC ARR : Articulation : AP Exam Credit at USC](http://www.usc.edu/dept/ARR/articulation/apexamcredit.html)
