I agree to a large extent with @lostaccount. I am a big believer of college students following the recommended course curriculum and not skipping courses due to AP credits, especially in highly competitive schools and/or majors. I have mentioned this on my other posts as well.
An anecdotal example. My D2 is a Sophomore at GTech planning to major in ChemE. She has followed the full recommended course curriculum including taking courses such as Calc I and II. She “goofed” off her first summer break - worked at Dunkins and took some overseas trips. During this Fall Career Fair at GTech she applied for a few Summer 2016 Internships. I was under the impression that she will find it tougher to land one despite her very high GPA as her competition already had some work experience and more advanced courses under their belt. Within a week, she has landed all the 3 Internships she had interviewed for. One of the companies that has made her the offer - $25/hr, travel, accommodation and commute expenses paid and that too in Houston!
My main advise to my Ds in college - do well and enjoy college life !
