<p>I am not quite sure how it works because somehow my friend came in with Calc. 3 and Linear Algebra Credit (she also got As) from Tech, and I’m guessing she had AP chem (as she too freshmen orgo. and got her a** handed to her). She had a lot of credit from dual enrollment and AP, and it seems as if Emory took most of it (she was probably over the what was then 32 credit limit so had to forfeit some stuff though). I really don’t think Emory would give much history credit at all (HS AP/IB history/polisci and even equivalents at GT and UGA are taught much differently here). I think they did back then, but they are now disallowing it. I think it can only be used toward placement and only if you’re a major. They seem to accept dual enrollment polisci as transfer credit, and I know another friend w/dual enrollment bio who had his counted as transfer credit. I think Emory is a bit more generous/willing to negotiate than what the policy states from what I’ve seen. Also, as indicated, Emory definitely seems lenient toward awarding credit in science/math (though I’d imagine the Tech chem. issue would get dicey since ours is the pre-med format w/2 semesters, and theirs was the 1 semester format. Even then, at least 1 will be accepted Though they should take UGA chem.1 and 2 credit).<br>
Regardless, Emory sets it up so that many students from a normal HS can knock out close to a years worth of credit through w/e means (I know people from this Texas system program who come in w/like 70 credits!, but of course they choose to take more classes and stay at least 3 years)</p>
