[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that the elite colleges prefer students to have taken AP and IB classes rather than community college courses as the former are considered more rigorous. I'd consider dual enrollment for my son, who is an average student, but not for a more talented student.[/quote] That may be true, but (a) I attended an Ivy and so did my husband (though for grad school) and both of us took on significant debt, yet neither of us ended up in high paying jobs! So while I understand the allure of being accepted at an elite college, the idea that our children could have at least a year or so of college education PAID FOR by the state is, right now, even more alluring. The courses they take include: Biology Human Anatomy Foreign Language Geography US and World History Math (only up to Precalculus, though) Intro to Psych Intro to Sociology That's basically a first year at any liberal arts college, isn't it?
