AP credit transfer process at Georgetown

Does anyone know how AP credits work for transfers at Georgetown? I'm thinking about transferring there, and I've got quite a few AP classes under my belt.

Georgetown University uses a specific system for awarding AP credits. It's important to understand that the school does not use AP scores for placement purposes, but you can receive AP credit if you meet certain score thresholds. This credit, however, can't be used to fulfill major requirements but it can count toward the total number of credits needed to graduate.

The credit amount and qualifying AP score varies by subject. For example, if you scored a 4 or 5 on an AP Math Calculus BC test, you would receive 3 credit hours. For an AP English Literature exam, you would have to score a 5 to get 2 credit hours.

If you're considering transferring, you'll want to have a thorough understanding of how your AP credits, in addition to your college credits, will be evaluated. Reaching out directly to Georgetown's admissions office or a transfer student advisor might be very beneficial to ensure you understand their specific process.

Do know that not all colleges and universities utilize AP credits in the same way, so it's beneficial to have a conversation like this with any school you're thinking about transferring to, and to be prepared that some of your AP credits may not be utilized in the way you anticipate! It's also recommended to keep all of your AP scores and college transcripts readily available, as the admissions office may require these for their assessment.
