@Smitty28 posted:Do your homework. I've got 3 kids who took between 6 and 10 AP classes in HS. None of them, and I mean zero, counted for college credit towards their major in college. A few classes entitled them to skip introductory level courses but resulted in a much more difficult freshman year of advanced classes.
Our HS offers what they call "dual enrollment". For some courses, for an extra $15/class the student earns college credit via the local community college. A student I know earned enough college credits by the time he graduated HS to be considered a "junior" when he actually started attending a 4 year university. He was not an athlete.
