<p>There are different views of different colleges, when it comes to high school colleges to be like many graduate schools on transfer credit and some schools on AP credit.</p>
<p>They view all subject areas as equally important. You are only required to have a certain number in an area because they recognize the limitations of what you can fit in. Some graduate schools tell students they will accept transfer courses for credit, but the student will still have to take the same number of courses in that area, just at a more advanced level. The same with quite a few top colleges and APs.</p>
<p>Consider if you learned Pre-cal in middle school and decided you simply weren’t going to take anymore math. You did meet the requirement, yes, but not the spirit of the requirement.</p>
