<p>Can I skip some of the courses if I have APs?</p>
<p>Yes you have to skip Math 31A if you get a 5 in AP Calc AB or 4 in AP Calc BC. Skip Math 31A and 31B if you get a 5 in Calc BC. You can bypass Eng Comp 3 by getting a 4 or 5 in either AP Lang/AP Lit (and I think 720 or higher in writing of SAT Reasoning). You can also skip Chem 20A with a 4 or 5 in AP Chem, but it is not advised and not many people do it. That is pretty much it, you will just get units for your other AP tests that you passed.</p>

Just wanted to add that AP classes do not satisfy GE requirements.</p>
<p>[AP</a> Credit - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/apcredit.htm]AP”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/apcredit.htm) should let you know all about what AP tests will satisfy. </p>
<p>As for the Writing I requirement (which agentunderfire38 indirectly mentioned), it can be satisfied by getting a 4 or 5 AP Lang or AP Lit. Alternatively, you can also meet this requirement by scoring 720 or higher on the writing section of the SAT Reasoning test or a English Subject test AND getting a sufficient score on the English 3 Proficiency test that UCLA offers.</p>
<p>The school of engineering has slightly different AP credit criteria I believe…

Not true. Engineers can get out of GEs with high enough scores in AP Spanish/French, as well as Economics and likely others. silvercross’s link is the authoritative source for AP policy for engineering.</p>
<p>You don’t have to skip Math 31A with a 5 on the AB or a 4 on the BC. You can if you want to, but you don’t have to.</p>
<p>You do have to skip Math 31A with a 5 on the BC, and you have the option to skip 31B as well.</p>
