I'm planning on going to the University of Michigan, after my senior year this coming up year. So, I'm in the Class of 2010.
I just got my AP Calc score back today, and I got a 5, which I'm really happy about. I've done the research, and it looks like I'm getting 2 credit hours for getting a 5, at least in the college I'm planning on going into.
Here's my question, though. I'm wondering, on average, how many credit hours each year of undergrad is about? Because if I get at least a 4 on the AP tests I'm doing next year [Biology, Chemistry, English, and Statistics], I can potentially graduate high school with 21 credits, so I want to know how much of my freshmen year would already be over before it even starts.
Thank so much. If you were confused by that, say so in your answer, and I'll shoot you an inbox question that hopefully explains myself better.
By that math, 21 hours is the majority of your freshman year. Also, 13 hours a semester would get you to graduation on schedule, obviously giving you a somewhat relaxed ride compared to some. However, this was just my university, and it was private. I couldn't tell you the average for state colleges. Figure out the total amount of hours required to graduate. Obviously you need to fill them with certain requirements for your major, but the amount of hours needed just for the major always falls short of the total required, leaving room for electives, extracurriculars, etc etc.
Also, AP Statistics? All I can say is...study. I went to state level math competitions back in grade school, but I failed college stats. There's no shortcut in that class. Believe me, I searched for it. [ K3587's advice column | Ask K3587 A Question ]
