AP Classes

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Okay, I'm taking four AP classes this year. I wanted to take five, but my school is only in its second year, so there are many one-shot courses (a class that is only taught for one period). I am currently taking regular U.S History because Honors and AP History are one-shots, but my counselor offered me a deal.
He said that I could take U.S History on my county's Virtual Education program. It is pretty much Distance Education over the computer. Should I do it? I would like to get the AP course on my transcript, but I don't know if colleges look down upon Virtual classes or not. </p>

<p>P.S. I would be taking AP U.S History during my 7th period (which is currently Regular U.S History). I would have to sit in the school library and do it over the computer, but my school's AP history professor said that I could sometimes sit in on his class and go to their study sessions.</p>

<p>I'd do it only if you are interested in US History, not to get the AP credit.</p>

<p>Also, the college won't look down on a virtual credit for AP USH if you get a good score on the exam. The exam, after all, is the object of the class. The boost it gives to your transcript is a side benefit.</p>
