<p>Hello. I am going to be a high school junior next year. What is your guy's look on Dual College Enrollment. The instructors come to my high school and teach there. There are some classes, however, that must be taken at the college. We are not a big Advanced Placement school, so how will colleges look at these dual enrollment classes? Here is my schedule for next school year. Tell me what you think.</p>
<p>1st semester:</p>
<p>Intro to Psychology (dual class)
AP Statistics (my school doesn't offer Calc BC, ggrrrr....)
English Composition I (dual)
U.S. History (state madated)
College Biology (dual)
HNR Spanish III</p>
<p>2nd semester:
AP Stats
US History
HNR Spanish III
English Composition II (Dual)
Comparitive Religions (Dual)
Humanities - Modern (Dual)</p>
<p>it looks good, although i think you should either:
- take a lit course (hs or college) along with Comp
- put off Comp until next year and take a lit course (hs or college) now
- take Comp now and take a lit course (hs or college) next year</p>
<p>I, personally, am going to be a senior next year and I'm doing the first choice. Lit is very important.</p>
<p>Are you going to take a full-year solid science and math course at some point during the next two years? You might be able to dual enroll in Calculus at the college if possible.
And I am only taking a composition course next year; 11 years of English Literature is enough for a potential Chinese language and economics major.</p>
<p>Ap Stats for junior year (full year)
and a college calculus class senior year (probably 2 calculus classes - since they last for only a semester)</p>
<p>As far as taking a full year of science - with this dual enrollment going on at my school, they count as a full year of high school credit..... ***c my school.... we use to be kings of ap's til this new principal came with the whole College Dual enrollment philosophy....</p>
<p>I'm in dual enrollment full time this year (junior year). I really like it so far...Away from all the high school drama and had some amazing professors. I can post my schedule or more info. later if you want...</p>
<p>We have dual enrollment...it's been a great experience...even though my school doesn't weight them! Ughhhh! Oh well, it's all good. I say, go for it!</p>
<p>I intend to do dual enrollment in my junior year. I probably will take two or three classes. Then my senior year, take classes at the college full time.
Your schedule looks good. What is HNR Spanish III. Is that offered at the college as well? If not, then I would highly suggest taking your language at the college as well.
At my CC, the course is named college composition instead of English Compostition I. Good day!</p>
<p>I'm doing it to. They used to offer it at school, but now you have to go to a community college (Which I refuse to do) or to a nearby University that allows it. But the Community College in the area would look like crap to the adcom so I'm doing a real college instead. It's gonna cost me though.</p>
<p>I would like to know the answer to that question as well. CCs are not crap; the courses (especially the second year) are at the college level, unless the college itself is terrible.</p>
<p>The community College in my area does look like crap. An english class that was called "college composition I" spent a whole semester learning to doa five paragraph essay. Two year colleges, as a generalization there are of course exceptions, are sometimes for kids who just couldn't get into State U, such as GPC in my area. My counselor was basically told me that I would not get into an Ivy if I decided to go to a CC.</p>
<p>We have dual enrollment - sort of - for our AP Classes. We get grades both in school & the CC for work we do in class with our regular teachers. So far i've done AP USHis, AP Calc, AP Bio, and AP Psych - Pre-Calc is also considered a DE course, but it's not 'ap'...no clue how that happened!</p>
<p>How young can students be to do dual enrollment in your town? I recently found out that the community college nearest to here (rarely) allows "special student" enrollment for ninth graders, which sounds like a good age to start there. All the public colleges in my state (including the flagship university) have a lot of PSEO students, students who are in eleventh or twelfth grade. But the state U only allows kids that young, and the community college would allow starting higher-level courses sooner. Most courses at the community college here are designed for transfer to the university.</p>
<p>They allow some juniors but only in very special cases. I think that going two years of joint enrollment would be missing out on the high school experience. I'm sick of high school, becaues four years is too many, but three years is okay. I would feel like I was growing up to fast if I went this year.</p>
