<p>Has anyone taken classes at WashU in high school? There's a program that allows you to take evening classes while you are still in high school. I was wondering if anyone could give their opinions of these classes, and whether or not they were worth it.</p>
<p>Yes. You can take classes through University College. Depending on the class, you may have some other HS students there, but usually you will not. The classes my kids took were very good.
Whether they are “worth it” is a different question - they are expensive! If you plan to go to WUSTL for college, you will get credit for these classes (As long as you do not use them for HS requirements), and your grades will be calculated into your GPA. If you go to another college, you may or may not get the credit (it will depend on the school, and the specific department usually). Taking classes at WUSTL and doing well in them will, of course, look good on your college application, but it is up to you to decide if it’s “worth it”.</p>
