[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter got accepted to UF this cycle and she is very likely to attend.  In addition to the tuition costs being comparable to VA in-state tuition (specifically W&M and UVA - we are still waiting on W&M RD, but she did get into UVA), UF is incredibly generous with accepting AP credits.  My daughter will be going in to UF with nearly 45 (the max allowed) credit and can feasibly graduate in 2.5 years.  However, UF offers a number of combined undergraduate and masters programs that can be completed in 4 years, so we will look into that program as well (which allows you to save money on 12 credits for a masters degree).  I think it will be a huge advantage to be a 22 year old with a Masters when entering the job market.  We will visit the school in a couple weeks for spring break and will hopefully make a decision by then.  At this point, we are only waiting on 3 more decisions.  However, the only acceptance that might make her not attend UF is if she gets into UPenn (which of course is nearly impossible for everyone).  [/quote]

I have mixed feelings about this. Does it water down the degree and the experience when the school accepts so many credits taken in high school? Why not go to CC if you just want a quick cheap path to a grad degree, especially given how many UF classes are online?[/quote]

I don't think it would be watered down - you just get all of your gen ed classes out of the way and make room for the classes related to your major.  [/quote]
