<p>This last summer, my son was accepted into a competitive, all-expenses-paid, two-week summer program at a top 20 university. In addition to being a great experience, the school awarded one college credit. While that's nice, the lone credit it almost feels like a marketing or PR move since it is, after all, just one credit and it's unlikely to ever be accepted at another college. But nevertheless, it was awarded and a university transcript can be requested that reports the credit.</p>
<p>Is it worth noting this "college credit" on the Common App this fall and, if so, is it worth requesting that a transcript showing the credit be sent to the other universities to which he is applying? His GC says yes, but I'm not convinced. Any thoughts?</p>
