[quote=Anonymous]One advantage to DE over AP is getting the credit at a VA public college or university. VA public colleges and universities do not give credit for simply taking an AP course. You need to get a minimum score on the exam in order for the college to give you credit for the course. If you get an A in the AP course, but only get a 2 on the exam, you won't get any credit transferred to the college. With the DE course, you need a minimum grade (I believe its typically a C) but there is no corresponding end of the year DE exam. For students who are looking at the mid tier and lower tier VA state colleges, DE is probably a really great option to earn college credit while in high school, thereby reducing the cost of college. For admission to UVA and W&M and any out of state top public college or private college, the AP course vs the DE option will probably be the better option.[/quote]
