<p>Actually it does. The more AP credits you have, the fewer the credits you have to take at Cornell. For example, you need 120 credits to graduate. If you have 24 AP credits, then you can take 12 credits a semester (which is the bare minimum) and still graduate in 4 years. Obviously, I don’t recommend taking only 12 credits every semester but having AP credits allows you to have some light semesters w/o compromising your graduation.</p>
