<p>On “unneeded college credits”–3 of my 4 kids took a cross-section of APs in all subjects (one child took all math/science APs) and so they had “unneeded” APs. The CS major didn’t need all his humanities/language credits; the Art/Jewish studies major didn’t need all her math/science credits. But would they have taken the general courses instead of the more challenging APs? No way.</p>
