<p>Post here! I am not a complete expert, I only have 30~ credits from junior year but I am knowledgeable about the subject and process! Post your questions :)</p>
<p>If Bran doesn’t mind, I can help. I have 93 credits. :)</p>
<p>So, first the obvious question: which is better in college admissions, AP or DE?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>May I ask how many classes you had to take to get that many? That’s a lot!</p>
<p>Okay, questions for anyone who’s taken both AP and DE: What are the main differences? (Aside from no AP exam for DE)</p>
<p>DE is a lot more self paced and your grade is more dependent on tests. If I don’t do a reading for an AP I will probably fail the next quiz, which I usually get once a week. If I do bomb those tests homework will save my grade. With DE I had a couple quizes but we basically where just expected to do the reading on our own, almost our entire grade came from three exams throughout the semester. Also DE is faster paced.</p>
<p>I’m wondering what to do for math in the future. My sophomore year I will be taking AP Calc BC, and so in my Junior year I can continue by taking Mulit Variable Calc at UNC. A really smart girl at my school took it and got a B, and since I found out about it I’m rethinking whether or not to take it. How hard is it to take a real college class?</p>
<p>ArtsyGirl is correct. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, it was 18 5-credit classes and one 3-credit class. I hope Virginia takes some of it. 
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I took Calc I, II, III and multivariate. That covers a little more than AP Calc AB and BC. Taking multi at UNC will be very impressive. What will you do senior year? Differentials? Linear Algebra?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Heh heh, that would be kind of funny if they took nothing. Right, Mint? Right? Mint, why aren’t you laughing?</p>
<p>**Mint swoons to the ground, mumbling something about William & Mary.*</p>
<p>Anyone can help! 
Thanks Junior!
CE- AP meets everyday, can be harder or easier depending on teacher, college classes meet once-a few times a week. AP requires exam to get credit.</p>
<p>TheReal- Since you’ve taken those intense math classes, a college class won’t be much harder/easier. You can definitely handle it. It depends alot on the professor though. A hard professor can make an easy class hard or a hard class deathly, while an easy professor can make a hard class easy while making a easy class even easier. Also after taking multi, I guess you could get stats out of the way, but that would be SO easy for you haha. I SUGGEST USING RATE MY PROFESSORS .COM!</p>
<p>But yea, usually DE is faster paced. DE has only a few tests a semester. At least mine so far have invovled more studying and less paperwork. Make sure you look at the course equivalncies from the college you’re dual enrolling at to the college you want to go to. Make sure your credits can tranfer! Or you can take tons of random classes and hope for the best. haha. </p>
<p>Junior, usually colleges take 62 credits max from another institution for your degree! Be careful! Anddd idk which is better for college admission. I think a mix of AP and DE classes would look good. AP classes are more standardized which doesn’t mean they cant be overly easy/watered down. Idk if 5~AP classes or 5~ DE classes look better. They both would look good! Call the colleges and see what they think! :)</p>
<p>Um, hi. First of all, is there a big website I could look at to learn all about dual-enrollment classes? My school doesn’t offer any. How do I take them?</p>
<p>Your best bet is to research the various colleges near where you live and see if any of them offer a special program that allows high school students to take college classes. If none do you should contact admissions at schools where you would like to take DE. My school does not offer DE either. I found two programs near me, both involved submitting a basic application and had GPA, rank and SAT requirements. I ended up only applying to the affordable one, know that they can be rather expensive. The one I am in is $50 a class, but the other was almost $300 a credit (making most classes around $900). Once you have found a program meet with your counselor and get approval for the class (you need to get approval to get high school credit).</p>
<p>Most people dual enroll at community colleges. 70-90$ per credit and alot of class offerings. I would ask your high school guidance counselor</p>
<p>Alright, thanks guys! I’ll see my guidance counselor ASAP, probably tomorrow.</p>
<p>bump just in case</p>
