The most comforting message would be “No, not at all.”

The truth is far more likely perhaps, somewhat, because if the students who have AP credits are able to skip out on lower division classes and jump directly into upper-division classes, you’re disadvantaged on level of course rigor in consideration.

Realize, however, that those with AP credits still need to do well in those courses… and if they forgo the courses altogether, and decide to float on their high school accomplishments, they are probably worse off than you are.

Also keep in mind that they have a low view of AP credits/other college courses in general, and are far more impressed by Berkeley courses.

I’d say you aren’t out of the race yet by a long shot.
