@scubadive - that’s interesting that her DE grades did not factor in to her current college GPA. Every DE seminar I’ve been to, and my DS has DE’d at 3 different colleges (yes this is a little nutty but we do have our reasons - one being that two schools are two miles from our house) - the advisers always warn us that DE grades follow you and factor in to your GPA even if they don’t count for your major. Perhaps they mean in the Florida state university system? Did your D go to a private university?
I know when I looked at a few privates the DE credits would not transfer if they fulfilled high school requirements.
I still think it’s a good idea to be hyper-aware of the downsides of DE, though we love it.
