How many use AP credits to save on costs

For engineering at a UC, the AP credit can help lighten the load, but from what I can tell, you won’t really be able to graduate early due to capstone projects and course sequencing (although I’m sure someone somewhere has proved the exception). You could get out of a couple of math classes, a couple of writing courses, and satisfy a few GE requirements such as American Institutions, but the UCs I’ve looked at don’t give anything for Physics and Chemistry which most engineering students will have taken several courses of. Most of the APs will at least count for empty units which can help with priority during scheduling.
