[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are colleges that do not accept AP courses for college credit. Brown is an example of one that won't give credit for AP classes, just like that the kids take the Ap classes.[/quote]

I am not aware of any college that accepts AP courses for college credit. I do know that there are colleges that accept AP exam scores (usually of 4 or 5) that can apply to college course credit or (and I believe more frequently, especially in the sciences) allows students to start at a higher level in coursework and therefore able to take additional electives.

For example, in Brown's engineering program:

[quote]Does Brown School of Engineering award credit based on Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, or other external examination results? 
The School of Engineering offers credit for high scores on some Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and General Certificate of Education (A-level) examinations. For more information, contact a concentration advisor or consult the Advanced Placement and Transfer Credit page.[/quote]
