[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid did all his classes in 11th and 12th grade at our local community college. He liked being able to set his own schedule and loved being treated like an adult. He appreciated the variety of classes and the diversity of the students. And even as an OOS student, he got credit for all but one of his classes (that one didn't have a UC equivalent). [/quote]

In terms of admission - did your kid run into any issues that it wasn't 10 APs vs 10 DEs? which U Cal? [/quote]

DP, you mean which UC? Usually Cal means UC Berkeley.[/quote]

Ok. Which UC? my concern is Admissions - DE sounds much better experience wise. Wanted first hand experience - did DE hurt in terms of admissions when applying to the top three UCs (Berkeley, LA, San Diego) or did the OP's kid attend the other UCs like Santa Barbara or Santa Cruz? Just trying to judge which might be a reach and which should be targeted.

[b]So far - DCUM has always held AP &gt; DEs.[/b] [/quote]

For public high schools, this is correct.  For elite private high schools, it is the opposite.[/quote]

What “elite private high schools” offer dual enrollment courses? What are those courses? It doesn’t make much sense for a high school charging 50k in tuition to offer classes that can be taken for free at the local community college.[/quote]
