[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that the only colleges that will accept all those college credits taken aren’t very good. So people who have a choice between starting with freshman status at a top college and sophomore/junior status at a lackluster college are just shooting themselves if they choose the latter.[/quote]

100% this. [/quote]

Tufts for engineering:
5 on Calc BC gives credit  Calc 1 & 2 (AP Calc BC)
5 on AP chem gives credit for Chem 101 and 102

Bio gets one course credit, 
etc. 
While you need a 5 on most, if you earn that, you can get a ton of credits.  And once again I wouldn't call Tufts a "not very good" or "lackluster" school

Tufts is not elite by any means. No top20 private allows large amounts of AP credit used to graduate a year early. AP credit (or placement tests) to start in a higher level, sure, and count a few here or there as credits toward the degree but not more than that. Starting in a higher level can secure a sophomore internship due to course difficulty of typical juniors, leading to an extra summer of meaningful experience for the resume, as most sophomores do not get into competitive internships. It is much more common coming from elites. [/quote]

It’s impossible to do at an Ivy. [/quote]
