How does Northwestern handle AP credit?

NU student here, shoot any questions my way.

Note that a 3 on the Spanish AP exam will place you into Spanish 125, which is ‘accelerated intermediate spanish.’ Functionally, it’s the final course of the 6-course introductory spanish sequence, which means you fill the foreign language proficiency requirement in 1 course instead of 6.

Also, the residency requirement only has 3 years (but study-abroad ISN’T counted as residency at NU, so you’re not going to graduate in 3 years if you spend any time abroad).
