<p>How important is it to take courses at the community college while one is in high school?</p>
<p>It looks good, but better if you take ap exams after them</p>
<p>Sorry, my post was cut-off. Yes, the college classes look good, but there is no way for your intended college to know how difficult these courses were. Because of this, if you can find a place to take the appropriate AP exam after taking the course, it would look a lot better.</p>
<p>On another thread someone was talking about taking calc. based physics vs. non calc. based physics. Basically in a community college, you have to take a basic non calc., introductory physics before entering a real physics class. If you were not allowed to take this at your high school, and the best you could do at college was take intro physics in the fall, and engineering physics in the spring, then they will take this into consideration.</p>
<p>I'm doing a similar program (I am a junior in high school), so if you have any questions about how it looks/works with other colleges, send me an email.</p>

<p>CC's and local universities are great for saving money. I recommend taking classes that really don't interest you, so you can get them over with before you go to college.</p>
