[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rising junior will take Chem 111 class at NVCC this summer.  DC has the option to check the box for "dual enrollment" or "college credit only."

What are the pros/cons of checking either box?  DC plans to take AP Phys 1 as a junior, and probably AP Phys C as a senior -- but that could always change.[/quote]

What school system are you in and has your kid already taken Physics honors? My son was told he have to take physics over the summer in order to do Ap physics. However he has a full time 40hr work week internship at a tech company this summer which will be more valuable, so AP physics is out for next year in favor of Honors.

I will tell you as a parent that has a kid who is taking DE Chem right now through NVCC, but at his school is absolutely is a weed out class. Only 60% of the class remains standing. Maybe the summer class is a joke and won’t be hard, but the regular class has been brutal.

Best advice my kid had gotten from his counselor is that with the current admissions climate if you don’t think you’ll get an A in an AP/ DE class, don’t take the class. [/quote]
