Both schools I looked into accept or will at least consider accepting AP credits from the AP Stats exam. Boston University will generally except a 3,4, or 5 on the exam. A passing score would get me out of a CAS (College of Arts and Sciences) math course. Mount Holyoke College will generally accept a 4 or a 5 on the AP Stats exam, and earns me 4 elective credits.
Two schools that I looked at were Assumption College and Saint Anselm College. Both schools generally offer credit for AP exams if a 3, 4, 0r 5 is received on the exam. When I looked into how much I would save by passing the test, I realized that each class being offered costs nearly $3,200 per course. At Assumption, I would receive Economics credit, and I would not have to take one of the economic introductory courses.
One school that I may consider applying to next year is Brandeis University. This school only accepts AP stats scores of a 4 or 5. These scores may earn 1 semester course credit for Quantitative Thinking School of Science which is equivalent to the offered course Introduction to Probability and Statistics. This would save about $ 1,220 which is the average price per credit.
Another school that i may consider applying to next year is Tufts. This school only accepts AP stats scores of 4 or 5. Theses scores can get me 1 credit in Liberal Arts, or Mathematical sciences. This could save about $1,270, which is the average price per credit.
Scoring well on the AP stats exam will definitely be a plus in saving some money for college :)
I am attending Princeton next year, who does not accept any score in the AP Statistics exam as credit. A 5 in the AP Stats exam is listed as the equivalent of their secondary level economics class (Economics 201), but sadly can not be used to skip a level/eliminate cost for a mathematics class.
A school I also looked at was the University of Michigan, who accepts a 4 or a 5 on the AP Stats exam as 4 credit hours towards statistics math. This is the equivalent of a savings of $2,002 for out-of-state students taking the average number of hours per semester.
In both of the schools I looked at, it is clear that it is most difficult to achieve credit or hours in the math-related AP tests, including statistics.
two schools which i have applied to and are in my top three for choices are the University of scranton and Rowan university.
The University of Scranton accepts a 3+ on stats and would earn credit for their math 204 class; but unfortunately because of the major i'm going into credit can not be given to me for any AP test; no matter what my score.
Rowan University will also accept a 3+ on the stats ap test; which is equivalent to their statistics 1 class
Two schools i would be interested in is the University of Michigan and Boston University.
For the University of Michigan: "...credit for Advanced Placement Examination scores is determined individually by the University of Michigan undergraduate schools and colleges. Some departments grant credit and placement for a score of 3 or above on a few examinations, most departments require a score of 4 or 5." This wouldn't give me any tuition, but, "taking the highest level courses is the best decision if you want to attend great universities."
For Boston University: they will generally except a 3,4, or 5 on the exam, a passing score would get me out of a CAS math course, but no bonus tuition.
Two schools I have applied to are UMass Lowell and Wentworth Institute of Technology. Umass Lowell will accept 3+ score on the AP Statistic exam, which would be worth 3 credits. Wentworth will also accept 3+ score on the AP Statistic exam, which would be credit for a general elective class.
The two schools I researched were Worcester Poly and Umass Lowell.
WPI accepts a 4 or 5 on all AP tests. For statistics, a 4 or 5 exempts a student having to take Applied Statistics I. Each class at WPI has an 1/3 unit of credit, so skipping this class would save me $3,288.
Umass Lowell accepts a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP Stats test. These passing grades are equal to 3 credits. The cost of 3 credits at Umass is $1,267.91.
Although a 4 or 5 would save me nearly three times the amount at WPI, the cost of attendance is also nearly three times as great at WPI than Umass Lowell.
The two schools I researched were Northeastern University and Villanova University.
Northeastern accepts a 4 or 5 for the AP Statistics test. They give 4 credits for this which is the equivalent of a class. This credit would save me one course, or $4781.
Villanova University also accepts a 4 or 5 for the AP Statistics test and gives 3 credits for it. This would translate into me saving $5070.
One school that I would be interested in is Dartmouth College. Dartmouth College accepts a 4 or a 5 on the AP Statistics test, and by achieving a 4 or a 5 I would get 1 credit towards a Math 10 credit course. This would save me an average of around $1,240.
Another school that I might be interested in is Johns Hopkins University, and this school will also accept a 4 or a 5 on the Statistics AP test. At this school, if you do successfully get a 4 or a 5 they will give you 4 credits. By taking the AP test I could possibly save an average of $1,305.
Two schools that I applied to that accept AP credit are Emerson College and Boston University. A 4 or a 5 on the exam would make me eligible to receive 4 credits in the area of mathematics at Emerson, which would save me about $4000 in tuition. At BU, a 3 or higher on the exam would provide me with 4 credits in a math course, equaling about $5,104 in tuition. So basically, the fees that I pay to take the test would be far less than the amount I would save in tuition if I got a good score on the exam.
One school I applied to and got accepted was to Bridgewater state university. They do accept ap scores 3 or higher for 3 credits. Another school I applied to was Rhode Island College. They do except advanced placement tests but it does not say what score. For more information I'd have to call the office of administration.
The two schools that I applied to and researched are UMass Amherst and Syracuse University. Both of these schools accept AP Statistics scores of 3 or higher for 3 credits. At Syracuse the equivalent course would be MAT 121 or 221 and STT 101. At UMass Amherst the equivalent course would be Stats 240.
Two schools that I have been accepted to that I researched were Providence College and Villanova University.
Providence accepts a 4 or a 5 on the AP Statistics test. It is equivalent to earning credits for a free elective. The amount of tuition that you would save from this would depend on your major, as different programs of study have different required numbers of free electives and different credits that they are worth, but an elective course could cost up to $891, which could be saved with this test.
Villanova accepts a 4 or a 5 on the AP Statistics test. This would allow me to test out of a Statistics class worth 3 credits, which would save me $4920.
Two schools that I have been accepted to are the University of New Hampshire and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. At UNH, they accept scores from 3-5 ranging in credit (or semester hours) of 4 (a score of 3 or 4) or 8 (a score of 5). For statistics, you must earn a 3 or a 4 and it is only worth 4 credits. At Umass Amherst, they also accept a score of 3, 4, or 5, which is equivalent to 3-8 credits. In stats, they accept a 3,4 or 5 which equals 3 credits. I could not find information on whether or not these AP scores save money on tuition, but I do not believe they do.
Two Schools that i am interested in are Umass amherst and Northeastern University. Umass amherst accepts a 3,4 or a 5 on the AP Statistics test and is the equivalent of around 4-8 credits depending on what score i get. I poked around the website and was unable to find if it would save me money on tuition but im assuming that if say i get a 5 on the test (most likely wont) i will get the maximum credits allowed which would be 8, and 8 credits corresponds to 2 four credit math classes (i think). At Northeastern University they accept only a four or a five on the test and they give 4 credits for this which is the equivalent of one class. "This credit would save me one course, or $4781."

The two schools I researched were Bates College and Boston College.
I have already been accepted to Boston College and their policy is a little different from other schools. For an AP Stats score of 5 I could waive a "Core Curriculum" Statistics requirement. I would not actually receive credits but I would not have to take the required stats class. AP Scores are generally used for placement rather than credit, so I am not sure if I could save any money.
I applied to Bates College and they will accept an AP Stats score of 4 or 5. This will exempt me from the Math 101 course, which would save me around $1500.
Two schools that I am interested in are UVM and Georgetown University. UVM accepts a 3,4 or a 5 on the AP Statistics test and relates to 3 to 6 credits. This will save me around $1,500. Georgetown does take part in the Advanced Placement credit program and awards course exemptions and college credit to entering students with qualifying scores. However, I couldn't find out which courses they take or what scores they take.
I have been accepted to two school as of now one being Northeastern, the other Umass Amherst. At northeastern I would need to receive a four or five to get credit. With the credits I could skip Math 2280 which I am assuming is a statistics based class "This credit would save me one course, or $4781." (Kenny Crowell, Jan 24, 2012 03:23 PM) (Cam Jones, January 24, 2012 05:36 PM)" As for Umass Amherst they accept a 3, 4, or 5. Like Cam I could not find a monetary value for the savings I could get. But I feel that even if I was to receive a high AP score, I would like to take the class in college to cement my understanding. Like life in order to succeed later a basic knowledge is important to have cemented and practice makes you better.
Two of the schools I have been accepted to are Elon University and Ohio University. Both schools accept AP credits and will exempt you from required courses for acceptable scores. Elon accepts a minimum of a 4 on the AP Statistics exam which earns 4 hours of college credits and would exempt me from their MTH 112 course, saving me $3456. Ohio University accepts any passing score on the Stats exam (3, 4, or 5). However depending on what your actual score is, your credits may change. A 3 or 4 earns you 4 credit hours, exempts you from MATH 2500 and saves $2436 for out of state students. A 5 earns 7 credit hours, exempts you from MATH 2500 and MATH 2XXL and saves out of state students $4263.
Two schools that i have applied to and are seriously considering are Northeastern University and Villanova University. At Northeastern University they would award me credit for their class "MATH2280" which is worth 4 credits, as long as I get a 4 or a 5 on the AP Statistics test. If I did not have to take this class at Northeastern it would save me $4732 which is a lot of money. At Villanova University they would award me credit for their class "MAT1230" which I assume is a statistics class. This class is worth three credits and would save me around $5070.
My top two schools that I have applied to are New York University and Pratt Institute. NYU will give credit for a score of 4 or 5 for a freshman math class. I would save about $5000. Pratt will give only 3 credits for a score of 4 or 5 on the statistics test for an introductory math class. I would save about $3000.
Two schools I have applied to are Babson College and Bentley University. Babson will give 3 credits for a score of a 4 or a 5 on the AP Stats exam and would exempt me from "QTM 1310." This would save me $1923. Bentley would give me credit for a free elective if I scored a 4 or a 5 on the exam. I would save around $1200
Two schools that I have been accepted to or applied to would be the University of Connecticut and the University of Delaware. UCONN rewards credit for a score of either a 4 or a 5 on the AP Stats exam, granting 3 credits in lieu of their Statistics Q-1000 level course. This would save me $1966. At UDel, 3 credits are rewarded for a score of either a 4 or a 5, the equivalent of their STAT 100 course. This would save me $3200.
Both of the schools I looked at (Tufts and Brandeis) accepted the AP Stats test grade of 4 or 5 for one credit, though for each school, this seemed to represent a differing amount of time and effort.
Both of the schools accepted the Statistics AP test if I got a 3 or better. However the websites did not say how much money not taking the class would save me.
Both schools I looked into accept or will at least consider accepting AP credits from the AP Stats exam. Boston University will generally except a 3,4, or 5 on the exam.
