<p>The only L&S major that I know of that AP statistics will be useful for is Psychology.</p>
<p>So if you already have the quantitative reasoning requirement, it will just count for generic credit units. According to stated UC policy, AP statistics units will be removed if you take a statistics course like Statistics 2, 20, or 21 in college.</p>
<p>If you end up retaking Biology 1A/1AL and 1B (or similar college courses at other colleges), any AP biology credit will be canceled if they follow stated UC policy regarding duplicate credit. AP biology credit can be used for some majors that require Biology 1A/1AL, 1B, or 11, though some of those majors recommend retaking it anyway. For pre-med purposes, you need to check with all of the medical schools’ admission requirements.</p>
<p>Yes, AP English language can count only for Reading and Composition A at most; AP English literature with a score of 5 can count for Reading and Composition A and B for students in L&S.</p>
<p>Generic credit units are helpful in increasing your class standing (e.g. you may gain “sophomore” class standing before your second year) which can help in some contexts with course registration priority. However, note the distinction between class standing and class level; if priority for a course is determined by class level, then it is based on the number of semesters you have attended since entry.</p>
