college credit

<p>how much college credit earned in high school will they let me bring</p>

<p>by the way i will have two year done
will they let me start as a junior and graduate in two years?</p>

<p>What kind of credit? If it is IB or AP they only accept one semester's worth of units.</p>

<p>If you earned dual credit (both college and high school) for those classes, you can't transfer any of them to your Wellesley degree. As for accelerating, that's something you would need to talk to a number of people about, including your advisor and probably your dean. </p>

<p>The registrar's office is (I think ...) the place to look for information about how much outside credit you can transfer to the degree.</p>

<p>just to let you know, none of my AP scores with 4 transferred..only those with a score of 5. I forget the policy..</p>

<p>Wellesley got quite a bit stingier with APs since I entered. These days you can transfer in up to a semester's worth of credit and only for fives.</p>

<p>Wellesley is perfectly happy to let students who take extra classes, bring in transfer credits and take summer/wintersession credits graduate a year or a semester early. I can name three students from 2008 who graduated a year early, and two more who will probably be graduating this fall.</p>

<p>I've never quite understood how IB works, but I've heard people complain about the way it's treated. However, someone at Wellesley who actually did IB should comment.</p>

<p>i appreciate your responses </p>

<p>i have a few ap courses
with an ib diploma to be completed before i even apply</p>

<p>and also college credits amounting to 2 years, 60 credits, through a local college and a nationally known university</p>

<p>i am talking about for acceleration</p>

<p>will i be able to transfer those</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Harvardbound, your questions could probably be answered quickly by the Registrar's Office. They're a wonderful resource, and I highly recommend speaking directly to them to prevent any confusion. The credit-transfer rules have changed even since I was a student, and the Registrar will have the most current, accurate information.</p>

<p>Here's some information from them about transfering AP and IB credit: Registrar's</a> Office Home Page</p>

<p>And here's a page that includes contact information: Registrar's</a> Office Home Page</p>

<p>You might want to rethink your reasons for applying to Wellesley if you are concerned with being able to accelerate. While it is possible to do, I don't think that many girls come to Wellesley with their minds set on early graduations. You should come here for the full experience. Which in most cases, means four years of undergraduate courses despite how accomplished your high school resume might be. A state school may be a better choice if you want to complete your undergraduate work quickly. My guess is that they would be much more willing to transfer your credits.</p>

<p>I believe the only good reason for someone to rush her college experience is desire to get into an M.D./Ph.D. program sooner (those take a lo-o-o-ong time to finish).</p>

<p>those aren't my main reasons for wanting to go here</p>

<p>just benefits</p>

<p>also i want to go to law school so i would love to save time</p>
