[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a lot of programs - especially rigorous ones- AP classes have limited utility. The are often only accepted as gen ed credits so can't be used to fulfil the requirements of a major which then leave DC without any interesting electives to take. Sometimes you can use them to skip out of 101 level prereqs and they can be good for that. Other schools have really specific gen ed requirements and they won't count towards those. In my experience, it you are REALLY targeted, you can get a year or semester out of them but in 90% of the cases they're just going to be extra and not really get you anywhere.[/quote] A year is quite a savings. However, DD began as an academic sophomore based on AP and the high scores on them. She did not want to graduate early and took lots of electives that interested her. Her dream job would be to be a professional student. But, that does not pay well![/quote]
