[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's 3 years you want then go the AP route in HS. Mine got enough AP credits to finish in 3 years ( but doesn't plan to). [/quote]

How many AP credits would be needed? Are they readily accepted by any college?[/quote]

Mine had 10 AP classes with 4s and 5s on the tests. All but one was accepted for credit (got a 4 on one that required a 5 for credit). The standards vary quite a bit by school. Some of the ivies give no credit. [/quote]

Also, some schools have started to give credit for the AP/IB classes, but they don't necessarily allow those credits to go toward graduation. In other words, credit is given in order to opt out of general requirement courses and into higher level courses, but the student still needs to study for 8 semesters/4 years. Essentially, schools have realized they want the student and their tuition for 4 years….again, each school is different. You need to check out each one's requirements and policies.[/quote]
