<p>When I take AP classes at my high school, I have the option to take the AP class and get college credit that way, or you can take the grade you get in the class and get college credit from the local community college. Which is a better idea and would be more appealing to colleges? Thanks for any input :)</p>
<p>I’ve found community college classes easier. Maybe it is the classes I took though. It is a pain in the butt to send your college transcripts to colleges though (I had to go in and fill out a paper by hand every time I needed it sent)</p>
<p>They’re the same classes, it’s just which way you want to get the credit…</p>
<p>I’m not the wisest person about this stuff. But, in my experiences at my school, it just depends on which college you want to go to. Some universities (if that’s your goal) will not accept community college transfer credits (because they want you to spend money at their school, haha), and some might not let some of the APs merit credit. It kind of just all depends. The in-state universities where I am accept all APs and community college credits as long as their is an equivalent course for you to get credit (which there almost always is). Haha, sorry for the ranting. Hope I was able to maybe somewhat help. =)</p>
<p>It does depend on the school. Competitive schools may not accept AP credits, but I think it’s more common that schools will say something like, “College-level credits taken prior to completing high school cannot be transferred.” Check transfer policies for the colleges you’re interested in.</p>
