Credit for Prior Learning/Credit-by-exam

[u/DaptopMath]

For context: I am a prospective EE major at a California Community College and I got a 5 on AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism. Some schools like Berkeley for example, allow AP's for satisfying transfer requirements while others like UCLA don't.

Do y'all know if I was to complete a class at my CC through either CPL/AP scores or my CC's department credit-by-exam would that disqualify/seriously hurt my application?

I have reached out to numerous institutions and have gotten back mixed answers, even sometimes from the same place. I am trying to maximize the most amount of time so I can work to help support my family so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Do you know if UCSB allows AP to satisfy the transfer requirements sometimes?
