I'm leery of this change. When the frosh first get on campus, the
most important thing for them is to be comfortable. Studying for and
worrying about advanced standing exams is not exactly the most
comforting introduction to campus you could have, and it takes away
the time that could be better spent making social connections.
What's the reason they gave for not accepting any more AP credit? Do
people who passed out of courses with AP do much worse?
