I'm working hard in my AP classes right now with the hopes of gaining college credit. I'm specifically interested in Georgia Tech, and I was wondering if anyone knows how gatech deals with AP credits? Also, is there a particular score they prefer?
Georgia Tech, like many other colleges and universities, acknowledges the dedication and effort of students who have completed Advanced Placement courses. As such, they do accept AP scores for placement and credit.
The AP Credit acceptance policy at Georgia Tech does vary based on the course, and each has a different minimum score requirement for the credit to be granted. For many of the courses, credit is granted for scores of 3, 4, or 5. However, for some courses, such as the AP Calculus BC and AP Chemistry, to name a few, only scores of 4 or 5 will earn you credit.
It's always best to double-check the specifics for the courses you've enrolled in. You can find this information on Georgia Tech's official website, under their AP Credit Acceptance policy.
It's commendable that you're investing effort in your AP courses — keep up the solid work! By doing well in these classes, you aren't just earning potential college credit. You're also demonstrating to colleges that you're capable of handling challenging coursework.
