Is dual enrollment the new path to getting into a good college?

[Anonymous]

Not only did my kid’s university not give course credit for APs (he had all 5s). They also wouldn’t give credit for a full college course (A grade) from Georgetown taken the year before.

It is a T15.

I know of at least one teacher in APS who started teaching DE classes to avoid having to give multiple tests to students who bombed the first one (I don't know what the current grading policy in APS is)

The DE classes offered at elite private high schools are a tier above AP though.

The OP referred to DE through public community colleges, not private high schools. What do you mean by elite private? Local high schools or New England boarding schools?

Both elite day schools and boarding schools.

Why can’t you just name the college?

On a similar note - how do CEs vs DEs vs AP? I'd think CEs would top the AP?

What’s a CE? If it college enrollment, then it’s for transfer, not admission as a freshman.

It's Concurrent Enrollment - instead of doing DE at a high school; you drive to a local school like: GMU and take classes there.

My kid did all his classes in 11th and 12th grade at our local community college. He liked being able to set his own schedule and loved being treated like an adult. He appreciated the variety of classes and the diversity of the students. And even as an OOS student, he got credit for all but one of his classes (that one didn't have a UC equivalent).

In terms of admission - did your kid run into any issues that it wasn't 10 APs vs 10 DEs? which U Cal?

DP, you mean which UC? Usually Cal means UC Berkeley.

Concurrent or dual enrollment is the same. It doesn’t matter where the class is taken. It means the student is enrolled at two institutions, the high school and the (community) college. There are no high school only DE classes. If a high school offers advanced classes like Multivariable, that’s just a high school advanced class not a DE class, unless they have an agreement with a college to bring an instructor on campus and register students at the college at the same time.

This is largely incorrect info.

Everything in bold is wrong:

Concurrent enrollment is not the same as dual enrollment. It can absolutely matter where the class is taken. Some schools give more credibility (weight) to a course taken at the CC campus versus in a HS. Also, some schools will not grant credit for a DE course taken in a HS but will for a course taken on a CC campus.

There are absolutely HS only DE courses and they are taught by HS district employees NOT by the CC bringing an instructor into the HS. Most are taught by HS teachers who have approval from the CC that they can teach the course.

You know very little about the difference and should not post about it at all.

Ok, I understand now, you are actually an idiot. At least bother to do a quick google search before you embarrass yourself needlessly.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_enrollment

It’s in the name, dual mean two, concurrent means at the same time.

Please, name the school that differentiate credit based on where the class is taken, high school or community college.

Also, I’d like to see an example of a dual enrollment class, taught by a high school employee at the high school, without the involvement of another educational institution. At the minimum they need to have an agreement with the community college to earn college (not high school) credit. Students will get two transcripts, one from the high school and one from the community college, which they submit to the university they will apply to. The transcripts don’t mention where the class was taken, just the course name and grade.
