I am a freshman at a VCCS school and am new to this blog. I had a few questions about the Guaranteed Admission Agreement. First, I received a score of "4" on my AP Psychology exam. My VCCS school grants six credits, or the first two Intro to Psych courses for that score. However, UVA allows only three credits or the first course for that score for incoming freshmen. Since I will not be coming in as a freshman, will UVA allow for the six credits since my VCCS school has authorized them or do I need to take another social science class to meet the requirements of the GAA? And if I do have to take another course for social science, the GAA says any two courses from either anthropology, economics, psychology, etc. Does that mean that I can use the one psychology credit and then take one economics class or since I have credit for one psychology course, does the second also have to be in psychology?
Also, I took one semester at another university before starting at the VCCS. If the VCCS awards a humanities credit for one of the humanities I took but UVA would not have awarded that credit if I had trasferred directly to UVA, will I have to replace that humanities with another one to meet the requirements of the GAA? Basically, it is a Slavic arts and culture class. The VCCS has not yet decided if I will get a humanities credit for it, but when I checked UVA's transfer credits for students coming from my previous university, that course was not listed in the courses that get transfer credit.
Thank you for any help.
