This sounds really shifty, but it was just a thought. I have taken a multitude of AP Exams over my high school career, and some of the colleges I am looking at have credit policies of 4 or 5’s for a vast majority. I have received scores of 3’s and 4’s for the most part on all of my exams, and was wondering if it was possible to attend, say, a summer community college course for speech or something, give them a few “3” scores for my AP Exams and have the credit courses on my transcript, assuming the university I wish to attend will take transferring credits for the correlating classes. Do you think this is possible or has this been thought of and put down?
The only way that would work was if you were attending that school for an actual degree and then transferred after a year or two. To just attend a summer school for one or two classes, why would they want your AP scores? And if you were going to a reputable school who does not take 3’s, they would know where the credits came from and deny them. Many schools (except for the Ivies, take 4’s for AP, some take 3’s as well.) Just investigate it.
That won’t work. First of all, that can mess up your college acceptances (assuming you are a senior who has already applied and don’t go through proper channels). Second your transcript from the CC will be as a non-degree seeking student, so you can’t transfer credits in. Third, it will show that those are credits from AP classes if you are degree seeking and your new university has the right to reevaluate those credits.
