Does taking a ton of concurrent enrollment courses look bad?

Applying to College

Unfortunately, I missed my chance to take a rigorous AP course schedule, so I took a bunch of CC courses. Would they use that against me or would they be suspicious to see that I took a ton of CC courses and lacked AP courses? I packed my schedule full of AP courses this year (senior year), but my junior year is packed with CC and only some AP.

Thanks!!

Don’t worry about this.

I agree. You were still challenging your self with your choice of courses.
As long as you took science, math, english, SS, and foreign language

Thanks for your input! I just heard that it may hurt my admission chances because 1) the in-state colleges don’t want you to come into their school with a lot of credit already and 2) I decided to take advances classes at CC instead of the ones available at my school. The (7) CC courses I took are not offered at my school (variations of CS and econ), so I’m not sure if that would hurt my chances.

In-State colleges I assume you are referring to state schools. They don’t want kids with credits is ridiculous. State Universities are the most generous with credit transfer. There are plusses and minuses to anything.

In-state universities as in universities in the public university system, like UCs :slight_smile:

It will only “hurt” your admission chances if you take ones already offered at your school. If you take a class like Microeconomics at a local CC, and that class is not offered at your school it will look good on your transcript.
