Concurrent Credit Program vs. AP

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Which do colleges look at with more regard, AP or Concurrent Credit Programs?
I'm thinking about taking a Calculus class at a local CC, and I'm just wondering if it would be better to take it at school as an AP, as with an English class and several science classes. </p>

<p>I'm guessing AP, but just thought I'd check.</p>

<p>OR are they equal for that matter?</p>

<p>Go with the AP. Dual enrollment/concurrent credit is impressive, but you most likely won't get credit for taking a CC course at the college you go to.</p>

<p>^ Thanks. </p>

<p>I also realized taking Calculus over the summer would be dumb, since if all works out right I'm taking PreCalc over summer this year.</p>

<p>Concurrent and AP.
If you have your entire schedule loaded with like 8 APs, and then have 4 more college classes running at the same time, and finish 8 APs per semester, it will look REALLY good, and maintain at least a 3.7 gpa.</p>

<p>^ My school (or district such as online classes and whatnot) doesn't even offer 8 AP's.</p>
