DC did well enough that it waived some general required classes e.g. language that there were no plans to pursue further, freeing up schedule room.  [/quote]

Exactly.  This was our DC's experience too.  Getting qualifying scores on the AP exams clears out a lot of Gen Ed required courses.  [/quote]

Interesting...Harvard is doing away with credit for HS courses (AP/IB) starting in 2020.

"current Advanced Standing program will change beginning in Fall 2020. Admitted students who enter the College as freshmen in Fall 2020 (the Class of 2024), and all subsequent classes, will not be eligible to receive Harvard College degree credit for pre-matriculation credentials earned in secondary school."[/quote]

Other schools will soon follow...

I am glad they aren’t taking IB courses either. [/quote]
