<p>I thought most private schools just cap AP credit/Joint Enrollment credit hours. For example, ours is capped at 24 (6 classes+ maybe some dual enrollment/transfer limit) so if you go over, like most students here will, you forfeit the ones that you really don’t need for say your major. At Emory, she would forfeit the credit and find other courses to fullfill GERs that don’t have to be the same classes she took elsewhere/AP. For example, if she was a science major, and she had Chem, Bio, and Physics through some source (AP, IB, Tech w/e), then she is exempt from the first semester of those sequences and may go on to take w/e she wants the first semester. Perhaps she would find a major requirement that does not necessarily require the whole intro. series, or take freshmen orgo (super difficult). Many options. I was just under the impression that other peer schools were as flexible as we are in the “credit” area. I only expect that behavior that you saw from Duke and Vandy at the smaller Liberal Arts Colleges like Swarthmore, Williams, and Amherst because they are known for being very rigorous and approaching teaching intro. courses differently and are thus cynical/skeptical about AP/Outside credit. Either way, your Daughter is probably just fine and thriving at Auburn (she would have been fine where-ever w/that record).<br>
Still getting over Vandy: If they don’t accept Tech Calc., they are being stuck up. I guarantee you that Tech calc. is harder than many intro. calc. classes top 20 schools.</p>
