[quote=Anonymous] We just finished the college app process and I have read that schools prefer HS students to first exhaust the most rigorous courses offered at their high schools before seeking dual enrollment alternatives. I also second what a pp said that many AP courses can be more rigorous than equivalents at community colleges. The APs follow a set curriculum and a standardized test is administered, so a college admissions office has a better idea of what an A or B means in an AP class if a kid gets a 3 or a 5 on the AP exam. Probably harder to evaluate what an A or B means in US history, for example, at a community college unless it is one the college DC applies to is very familiar with it. . [/quote]
