Greetings Everyone!
I will be attending the United States Military Class of 2019. However, there are several questions I have, mainly about classes.
I know that West Point does not accept transfer credits, however do they consider previous grades and AP Scores for validation. For example I earned a 5 in my AP Calculus BC exam in high school, but a B+ in my Calculus III class in college. Should I try to restudy the Calculus topics and hopefully do well in the math exams during beast, if I want to validate those classes? I am currently taking a differential equations class and am also hoping to validate the class.
Also, will there be a way to validate Physics? I am currently taking a college Physics class.
I have also heard that high AP scores in US and European History can validate history. Is that true?
Also, I did not take AP English in high school. I scored a 31 on my ACT in English/Writing and earned a B in my college writing class. Will those things be taken in consideration to validate a semester of English?
Finally, can someone explain to me the core classes every cadet takes?
I know that West Point makes every plebe max out on units, so I am not trying to make my schedule easier by validating these classes. However, I am trying to clear a lot of classes in order to open a space for a minor or language.
Thank You
