<p>I am a junior student . My high school does not offer AP unfortunately, but they do offer AICE and dual enrollment. AICE is far more rigorous, but dual enrollment students are ranked higher because they do twice as many classes each year. So I have a few questions: Does class rank and GPA matter more or does rigor matter more? Do most colleges recognize how rigorous AICE is?</p>
<p>I had 6 AICE classes, 2 dual enrollment classes (3 hours each after school) at Indian River State College, and 1 unweighted class. I switched my schedule because I was feeling slightly overwhelmed and I heard that colleges do not look highly upon aice classes as they do ap. I am thinking now that maybe I should have kept the aice classes and dropped one dual enrollment. </p>
<p>It's too late to drop any dual enrollment classes now though. I am contemplating taking AP Microeconomics for the second semester online. My schedule looks like this: </p>
<p>AICE AS English
AICE AS Chemistry
AICE A Psychology
AICE A Thinking Skills
Theatre 3 honors
Critical Thinking/ SAT Prep (half semester course)
Executive Internship (teacher's assistant, gives 30 community service hours per semester)</p>
<p>Dual enrollment:
Geology
American History</p>
<p>Should I do an ap class online or maybe ask to get my AICE classes back?</p>
<p>My current gpa is 3.5 unweighted and 4.08 weighted. I have only done PreAICE, honors, and dual enrollment in the past.
I am looking to go to a college like UF or better, preferably out of state. </p>
<p>For next year, should I focus on ap online classes and aice, which are far more difficult or should I focus on dual enrollment, which are easy A's and would bring my GPA and class rank up much higher?</p>
