<p>Like I said though, the only AP classes left at my school are ******** and poorly prep you for the test.</p>
<p>It really depends on both the classes and the college.</p>
<p>When I had to make this decision, I chose the AP classes, because the AP classes at my high school were mostly better than their equivalents at the local university. Once I had finished the AP French sequence (lang and lit), though, I did take a grad class in medieval French lit at that university, and it was a good class.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>But in many community colleges, the peers you will find there might not be your intellectual equals (or even superiors) for that matter.</p>
<p>60% my dual-enrollment final-year calculus class dropped out – ironically (or not so ironically) the high school students ended up holding most of the top scores, and the standard deviation was like 34.1. </p>
<p>You will find that your peers in an English 101/102 course might not be so bright, as well, though they may be far older than you.</p>
<p>At my kids’ high school, the AP classes are given extra weight-the dual enrollment (community college classes) are given the weight of a regular class (not even a pre-AP class!)</p>
<p>At our school college classes (even those taught on the HS campus) do not figure at all in the GPA, so DS has taken mostly APs, opting for the weighted grade boost. Next year as a senior he will take college Poli Sci (running out of APs that fit).</p>
<p>At my school, if I get an A in 1 ap class and that’s the only highschool class I take, my weighted GPA would be a 5.0. However, if I took 1 ap and 1 cm, it would be a 4.6 or something around there.</p>
