Hello everyone, I'm planning to take AP classes next year. I'm particularly drawn towards Georgia Tech. Can anybody tell me what kind of AP credits Georgia Tech accepts?
Sure, I'd be happy to give you some insight into AP credits at Georgia Tech. Generally, Georgia Tech does accept AP credits and the minimum score to receive credit tends to be a 3. However, the most competitive scores are around 4 or 5.
Here are some examples:
- For AP Calculus BC, a score of 3 earns you credit for MATH 1551, while a score of 4 or 5 earns credit for both MATH 1551 and MATH 1552.
- For AP Biology, a score of 3, 4, or 5 earns you credit for BIO 1510.
- For AP English Literature, a score of 3, 4, or 5 earns you credit for ENGL 1102.
This isn't a comprehensive list, but it should give you an idea. I recommend visiting Georgia Tech's Office of Undergraduate Admission's website or contacting them directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
This can really help you in advancing in your course load and potentially graduating early or taking more advanced or elective courses if you're bringing AP credits. However, don't forget to balance your senior year - you're still going to want to maintain a strong overall GPA and it can be particularly compelling if you can show deep learning and great grades in hard classes. Best of luck with your AP classes and application to Georgia Tech!
