[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MC doesn't have a great academic rep

It's possible to take online classes from other schools that look better on a college application.

Many colleges won't honor transfer credits from a community college.

That's just off-the-top.[/quote]
MC is ranked #10 CC out of 700. https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/news/press-releases/2023-8-16-montgomery-college-ranked-a-top-10-best-community-college-in-the-us-and-first-in-the-state-of-maryland.html#:~:text=MC%20came%20in%20at%20%2310,the%20nearly%20700%20ranked%20colleges.

Having college credit instead of APs on the transcript didn’t prevent DC from being accepted to (well-ranked) schools that were of interest.

MC core classes that are part of dual enrollment all transfer to UMD and GA Tech. By extension, they’ll transfer to all public universities when put through the university’s review system. (I checked a few specific schools that DC applied to.) All of my DC’s CC credits were accepted except one random “intro” type class. Started at an out-of-state public with 58 transfer credits +7 AP.[/quote]

My DC is also out of state and almost all of the credits were accepted and applied. DC didn't score well on AP exams so only a few credits from those were accepted at the university DC attends. DC also played a sport and went back to the HS to have lunch with friends after classes at MC so they were still very much a part of their high school. It was a good way to work on managing their own time prior to leaving home this year. [/quote]
