<p>Ok, so I am an up and coming junior looking at some college options. One of my choices is WUSTL, however, there is one factor I must digress. I have been taking a couple evening classes at a community college all along while maintaining my IB diploma highschool curriculum. I have heard that some colleges require that even if you have yet to graduate highschool, if you took X amount of classes at a community college, you will enter as a transfer.</p>

<p>I have been told "a general rule of thumb is don't go over 15 credits, but if they are to fulfill a highschool requirement it is alright</p>

<p>please correct me if i am not right.</p>

<p>Wash U pre-matriculation credits policy goes as following:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>If the course fulfill a high school requirement, the credits actually are not acceptable. Therefore they are not regarded as pre-matriculation credits.</p></li>
<li><p>Community College credits are not eligible for transferring those to Wash U. ( I am not 100% sure about this one. The other way I heard is Community College credits should not be counted towards a Medical School requirement curriculum. )</p></li>
<li><p>You can take as many college credits as you want. But for the College of Arts and Sciences, you can transfer up to 15 credits you have earned prior to freshman year. So while you can have 20 pre-matriculation credits (including APs), there would be 15 of them transferred to Wash U, if they satisfy the followings conditions after all:
1). The course is one for which credit would normally be awarded
2). The course was taken at a fully accredited college or university
3). The course was not part of a dual degree program and the course was:
*a bona fide college course taught on the campus of a college or university,
*enrolled primarily by duly matriculated college students–i.e.,
high school graduates,
*taught by a regular college faculty member,
4). The course was taken after the junior year of high school.
5). This course is not on the high school transcript and did not count towards the high school diploma.</p></li>
