[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top tier colleges don't give credit for DE.

Top tier schools also don’t give credit for AP.[/quote]

This. Very hard to get a lot of AP credits at top schools (not saying impossible).

Also I think what you take depends on the kids goals and schools. DE transfers well at VA schools, for example. A kid I know had almost a semester under his belt due to DE.

As for rigor, honestly, I’m just sick of hearing about it. AP is hard. DE is hard. It’s a spectrum of what is harder for each person. This idea you have to take all college AP classes in HS is something we’ve largely opted out of. It’s so idiotic.

In line with what this poster said, by the end of sophomore year when class registration was starting for junior year, we had to finally let it sink in that our child was going to be applying to state schools in VA and not VT/UVA/W&M. We encouraged them to take DE classes  instead of AP since the DE had a good chance of being accepted for credit.[/quote]

Yes, if not aiming for those 3 and higher-level national universities, DE makes sense[/quote]
