<p>^ Good for your daughter…I’m glad she’s happy at USC; it is a great school. I don’t want to get into a ****ing contest between these two universities just because I posted an observation. You’re correct that students need to look into specifics and choose what’s best for them. </p>
<p>Regarding the AP credit of 3-5 scores, this is specifically for the breadth foreign language requirement. Not all Berkeley departments and majors grant lower division credit with a 3-4 AP score. For example, Berkeley engineering only allows credit for Physics 7A (Mechanics) if a score of 5 is achieved; Math 1A/B credit if scored 4 or 5 on AP Math (BC) Exam. </p>
<p>Also, in keeping with the foreign language theme of this thread, no foreign language course credit is given for any score on AP Spanish, French or German language exams. </p>

I didn’t have a question regarding course credit allotments…but thank you. :)</p>
