<p>Alright, so i'm in kind of an odd situation. I've pretty much exhausted the science and math curriculum (what I want to major in) at my high school. I've taken calc, all the ap sciences (self study enviro) and all of the ap math courses.
I know for senior year, I should probably have a hard course schedule but should I stick with high school or go with pseo? I have limited offerings at my high school- only ap classes i have yet to take are ap gov, psych but I could take non ap classes like anatomy and organic chem (but will this look bad in terms of rigor?). Also does it matter if I take pseo at a local community college, top ten liberal arts college or large state university?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>If money is an issue, take it at wherever is cheaper. I don't think it matters where you take them. I would say to take AP Psych if you're interested in it. If not then you can take higher math/science courses at your local CC ( Linear Algebra, Multi Variable Calc, etc;)</p>
<p>I would avoid taking classes at a CC if you can help it.</p>
<p>How come? some CC systems are pretty decent/easy</p>
<p>The "easy" part is what I'm getting at. Some CCs are good, but a lot will have classes much easier than if you'd taken them at a regular university; they won't prepare you well for upper level university classes.</p>
<p>will taking cc classes look bad on college apps? especially for schools like hyp?</p>
<p>Thanks for all the advice</p>
<p>I dont take CC classes to skip college courses, but rather to skip high school courses lol</p>
<p>If you get too many CC credits, you'll count as a transfer student too. Though I doubt you could get enough in a year. Besides, some CC credits don't transfer to certain universities, so make sure they do. It would be pretty bad to have to take the class over.</p>
<p>Does your high school have established relationships with any colleges? My D attends a private school where they encourage seniors to take classes at a nearby university. The classes are scheduled and paid for through the high school. My D is planning to take math and physics classes there next year. My S goes to a large public high school where they have a "dual credit" program where you take certain college classes through the local community college but on the high school campus. The dual part is you get high school credit and college credit. You could also look into college classes over the internet. Here is a link to the classes offered by UT Austin: College</a> Course Search Results: Distance Education Center
You can check the websites of the colleges you are interested in to see if they will accept transfer credit. Hopefully your GC at school can help you also. Good luck!</p>
