[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges might not accept DE classes for credit. This is particularly true with DE classes held at the high school.

That said, you will need to send the grades to colleges as part if the application. The grade will become part if the transcript, even if the college does not give credit. This means if the student applies to grad schools, the grad school will see the DE class and grade. [/quote]

If your kid plans to go in state, DE credits are more widely accepted at VA schools than AP credits. My DD at W&M only got a few classes' worth of credits for AP exams (W&M generally wants 5s, will take some 4s). Her college friends who did DE classes came in with enough credits to be sophomores or juniors b/c W&M took all their DE credits.

Other VA schools are more generous with AP credits that W&M, so if your kid is considering in-state, look at which scores the different schools will take. Based on DC1's experience, DC2 is planning to go the DE route. All the classes are taught at his high school. He is looking at schools a little less competitive that W&M (GMU, JMU, maybe UMW) and would be happy to go in with as many credits as possible.[/quote]
