[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For private T20, you don't get "credit" to graduate early. It may waive certain required curriculum, but that's it. There's no graduating early.

That's a public college thing.[/quote]

That's not true.  You can graduate from UPenn up to one year early if you choose to do so and you have completed all the required credits...which can include AP test scores for intro Math, Science, and Language classes.  You usually need a 5 on any AP Test to get the credit.

I gather there are others in the Top 20 that allow the same.[/quote]

That's not what I've seen in the Ivies.  You can use the AP as a pre-requisite for a more advanced class than the foundational requirements, but using it to graduate early is not typical.  Ivies typically require a specific number of credits or semesters to be completed, regardless of AP credit earned.

This is the case for my DD at Brown. She was able to get a higher placement in two different areas, but she had to take another elective in its place.[/quote]

This. At northwestern.[/quote]

Northwestern accepts a ton of APs for credit.  You have to score mostly 5s…Will accept some 4s.[/quote]
