Oh don’t worry. I realize that the first step is always applying but I also don’t want to apply to a school that I won’t like. I am also trying to narrow down the list of colleges I want to visit in the next few months.

As far as biology I doubt even a 5 on the AP exam would help me skip anything at Mt. Holyoke. But when I was reading the course descriptions (http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/french.../dept_fren.pdf) it sounded like the 100’s were like French 1. The description kept saying it was an introductory level course. It doesn’t make sense that a 4 or 5 on the French AP exam wouldn’t help me skip at least the introductory level courses. Are they really that difficult?
