While you may not “need” the AP credit, you may actually want it since many schools schedule registration dates for classes based on the number of credits you have.

So, while all incoming freshman are on equal footing because everyone registers at orientation, after that, you may be at an advantage for having those AP credits. It may make your registration date and time earlier than your fellow freshmen. Registering a few days earlier may mean getting that last spot in the class at the time you want versus being waitlisted for a class.

You won’t regret taking the AP’s and having extra credits, but if you don’t take them, there is a good chance you may kick yourself later on…
