[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible to graduate in 3 years if you accumulate enough AP credits (at the schools that accept them)?[/quote] I did in the late 90s from a crap school district (so not a ton of AP offerings). I had probably 5-6 AP classes & a DE? Then I did a few semesters of 18-20 credits (my school you paid per term, not by credit hour) to finish with a double major. In general, I felt the gen eds were a waste of time. Certainly, everyone needs to read well & write coherently, even STEM majors. So, I can understand English requirements. But, my sociology, geology, chemistry, German, etc? Large lectures which left little impression on me & did not inform my future in anyway. Instead, other than English (and, I think statistics. Everyone needs to understand what those mean. Or don’t mean), I wish there was just an empty pocket of credits. Students could take more in-major electives or those that want to explore, can.
