<p>tx5athome, thank you so much for your help. When we saw that 1000 are invited and only 100 win, we are not counting on Regents at all so it’s good to know that the APs can a plus for registration. I’m sure that most kids have quite a few so maybe it all evens out. </p>
<p>Do you know about how the college credits work? If all 21.5 credits transfer in would that affect him in any way? They are semester credits and I believe the formula to change them into quarter units is to multiply by 1.5 so it would be 32.25. </p>
<p>Believe it or not, he likes taking the AP tests and of course, his teachers want him to test too since if he gets good scores, it makes them look good!</p>
<p>Curious about getting out in 3 years-could you stay for a 4th and get your MA? Would you still get finaid. I’m pretty sure I read NO but it doesn’t hurt to ask again and then why would someone rush through, to save money? Some of the schools DS is looking at have a 5 year program where you start taking grad classes in earlier years but I don’t see anything like that at UCLA.</p>
<p>Thanks again for your thoughtful post!</p>
