Yes. Cornell's Advanced Placement & Advanced Standing website summarizes what (if any) credit you would receive, as well as what introductory courses you could choose to place out of, based on your scores.

Cornell’s individual academic departments determine whether to award exam-based credit. In all cases, scores must be at the highest level (i.e., 4 or 5 for APs; 6 or 7 for IBs). Some departments administer their own department exams to determine credit and placement instead.

 

Additionally, because college courses are generally more comprehensive and substantive than AP courses taught in high school, some departments advise prospective majors to develop a firm grounding in the subject area and methodology by enrolling in the respective introductory survey course at Cornell in lieu of claiming exam-based credit. Please check the appropriate department websites and note that if you opt to take a course that your credit would place you out of, you forfeit that credit.
