Online APs- Virtual Schools

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm thinking of taking some online APs through some virtual schools.</p>

<p>The prices vary:</p>

<p>$299 Keystone National High School: AP Macroeconomics</p>

<p>$750 FLVS(out of state- in CA): AP Art History</p>

<p>$140(if they'll let me buy my own books)
Univ. of MO: AP Statistics</p>

<p>I'm taking AP Lit, AP US Gov, AP Cal AB(also w/ BC). I'm also taking Fren 2B online through CSU Sacramento.</p>

<p>AP Art History was supposed to be offered at my school, but they canceled it. I might take AP Stats and AP Macro, or AP Macro alone.</p>

<p>Is this a good idea?</p>

<p>I know for a fact that Art History is self-studyable. See this link <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=369861%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=369861&lt;/a> for more info on which ones you can self-study. Then, go to <a href="http://www.half.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.half.com&lt;/a> and buy the textbooks for 90%+ off. You could save a lot of money taking the independent study route for some of those courses.</p>
