[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so common at selective schools that you aren't special if you come in with credit. You're normal. Average. [/quote]

Indeed, this should be obvious to anyone paying even the slightest attention to high school class choices and college admissions.[/quote]

It’s common at most colleges. The credits are accepted and my kid didn’t have any problems with taking upper level courses their freshman year. Kid said the ap courses were in some cases harder than the college course. Kid would tell you college was much easier because of the rigor of the ap classes.

Also disabuse yourself of the notion that parents are pushing this trend to save money. The kids are so competitive in hs that kids feel like they have to take ap classes. I argued with my kid for months because kid loaded up with too many ap classes. Kid refused to back down.  I know other parents who went to the principal to try to drag their kid out of some ap classes. Most of the parents I knew agreed that it was insane but by hs the kids who are academically talented are intense about competing with each other. [/quote]
