<p>Good colleges (like MIT) favor more dual enrollement classes, or the APs? For exemple, would they accept a student with 10 dual enrollement classes or one with 10 APs?</p>
<p>I believe you must be talking about taking a college class before graduating from HS......this is always more desirable to an AP. Why don't you graduate early from HS? How many college courses are you taking?</p>
<p>I am taking 7 APs this year took 3 last year and have a lot of other credits. So should i try doing dual next year, or just stick to the APs?</p>
<p>Dual Enrollment:: what is it? Explain.</p>
<p>With dual enrollment, you still take your regular AP class in high school, though you are also "enrolled" at a participating college, usually a community college. Your AP teacher works with the college on developing the curriculum, tests, and so on, and when you pass the course, you also receive credit from the college.</p>
<p>Not all four-year colleges will accept credit from all community colleges. As far as MIT goes, the AP part is probably enough, and the dual enrollment won't have any meaning for them.</p>
<p>What a goofy plan if I may say so. I'd just take the course at the college or do distance learning and the college if the college is a weak one. I mean you can do almost any course distance learning through a well known and selective college.....why bother with AP it is meaningless really. Good explanation I have just never heard of combining a college course and AP......</p>
<p>AP is much more transferable. Many top colleges won't even consider dual enrollemt credits but will accept APs.</p>
<p>I have never heard this before and how interesting. I think what you are telling me is that the math class I took through Stanford, online isn't going to transfer to my current school but an AP would? Is that what you are trying to tell me?</p>
<p>Dual enrollment, is that when you get credit at the community college or the college that you go to. Is this the same as going to a community college?</p>
<p>Dual enrollment, or joint enrollment, is when a high school student takes some or all of his classes at a local university or community college.</p>
<p>I myself do both. I am taking two APs at my high school and two college classes (Cal II & Physics I). I plan to take the AP Physics C exam through self-study.</p>
<p>It depends. A five on an AP exam is very easily transferable to almost any institution nationwide. If you take classes at a public university and plan to stay in state, do your research and you can easily shave off one year towards graduation. Most private universities are more picky, though.</p>

<p>No, what I am saying is that most dual enrollment is done through community colleges, and those credits don't always transfer. I suspect a course from Stanford will transfer to most school, though they don't have to accept it.</p>
<p>Community College as opposed to a University? In many cities kids take class at a University.</p>
<p>I would say dual enrollment, just because it counts as GPA.</p>
<p>I say definitely AP....with Dual Credit, the credit doesn't transfer to private schools, and more than likely not even a majority of state schools.</p>
