<p>I can think of two off the top of my head:</p>
<p>Dartmouth College just dropped AP credit</p>
<p>Boston College (AP is used for fulfillment of Core requirements, but not Credit, unless graduating in three years)</p>
<p>AP credit may be allowed for different purposes, depending on the college. Not all colleges allow the same purposes.</p>
<ul>
<li>Credit units – allows the student to take fewer courses or credits of free electives before graduation, if his/her major and breadth requirements do not fill up the entire schedule.</li>
<li>Subject credit – allows the student to fulfill major or breadth requirements without taking a course at the college.</li>
<li>Placement – allows the student to start in a higher level course than the normal entry-level course.</li>
</ul>
<p>Caltech is one school that gives none of the above for AP scores. Placement into higher level courses than the normal entry-level courses is done by its own placement tests. Harvey Mudd is a school where only one AP score is relevant; a 5 on AP biology gives eligibility to take a placement exam to place out of a required biology course (for other subjects, the school’s own placement exams are required for or offered to all students).</p>
<p>Dartmouth will change its policy to not grant credit units for AP credit for those entering fall 2014 or later. But placement or subject credit may still be granted for some.</p>
<p>State universities are often quite generous with credit units, but may be less generous with subject credit or placement than they are with credit units.</p>
<p>Brcl, doesn’t impact your career but it impacts somebodys wallet.</p>
<p>I’d just be a little suspicious of any college that didn’t give any consideration for AP. Makes me feel like they’re only interested in your money.</p>

<p>It depends. How are you paying for school? If you’re paying by the credit hour, then it doesn’t really matter outside opportunity cost but you might be working a part-time or full-time job and opportunity cost may not be an issue. It took me about 11 years to get my degree. Most of it was paid for by other parties. Today you might use tax deductions, employer tuition reimbursements or tax credits to pay for a few courses here and there.</p>
<p>If you’re paying by the semesters, then extra semesters add a lot to your cost of education. There’s been a push in some states for high-school students to take dual-enrollment community college courses where they can use these credits towards their college graduation. Many state universities also accept AP credits to count towards the degree (some schools only allow AP credits for advanced standing - they don’t reduce the number of credits that you have to take there).</p>
