It depends on the school and the exact class as to whether it will transfer. Based on the college the credit is offered from you have a better chance with it transferring to other state flagships. Most state schools have transfer equivalency tables. AP stats is not accepted by many schools because it is not calc based. And I have to agree that $300 for four potential credits hours will be far cheaper than down the road. And if you have to pay for the AP exam your net cost is closer to $200.
