[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used my high school AP credit to skip the intro level big lecture classes and get right to the interesting. Graduating early wasn't an option because of the order I had to take classes in due to prerequisites and not all classes being offered every semester so I just filled out my schedule with classes to add an additional major and a minor instead.

This is what my 2 kids did.

One used them to skip the weed out freshmen classes and get a dual degree.

The other used them to free up classes to double major.[/quote]

I did the same. I was so happy to skip freshman English and Biology especially. And I got right to the good stuff in my chosen major. I was a student athlete so graduating early was not a priority. But AP credits allowed me to take a more manageable course load each semester and have time to work in a couple of research labs. I had two minors, but ran out of time to double major because I didn’t hone in on my specific interests until a bit too late for that. [/quote]
