<p>OR</p>
<p>what's the policy for community college classes</p>
<p>Okay, so if we take ap credit, we can take less courses in college? Does that mean college costs less?<br>
Also, is taking Ap credits advisable? Do ap classes in high school really approximate what you'll get in college? Did you ever feel behind after taking an ap credit? Also, how do grad/med schools look at taking ap credits?</p>
<p>Hopkins tuition is not based on a per-credit system, so college will not actually cost less (unless you decide to gradute in three years, which is difficult). As for taking less courses, you will still have to maintain a minimum course load of 12 credits per semester, but you can use your AP credits to either ease your courseload or take more advanced classes.</p>
<p>I came in with a bunch of AP credit that Hopkins accepted. Last fall, I took Organic Chemistry and Advanced Intermediate French as a freshman because I had AP credit for Gen. Chem and Intro French. The Organic Chemistry class was about 1/3 freshman and I didn't ever feel at a disadvantage because I hadn't taken General Chem at Hopkins.</p>
<p>As for med schools, many are not too receptive to AP credits. While a few will accept all of it, most will only allow you to use AP credit to fill pre-med requirements for Physics and maybe Calculus. If you have AP credit for Biology and Chemistry, you're expected to use the AP credit to take more advanced courses in those fields. The rules vary from med school to med school. I don't know specifically about grad school, but I doubt it would matter, since if you're going into grad school in a certain field, you must have already taken advanced courses in the field, so it probably doesn't matter if you didn't take the introductory course.</p>
