Should I take AP Lit or Dual Credit English Classes?

<p>For senior year, I have two options for English: I could either take AP Literature or college level English classes (composition, speech, and/or literature) that each provide three credit hours from Indiana University. </p>

<p>I feel like the Dual Credit Classes are probably the best, since I would be getting credit from Indiana University and my credit would not be given to be based off of the results from one test. However, I feel that the AP Lit credit would be more recognized, and other colleges would not take the credit from IU (though the English department head said about 95-96% will). </p>

<p>Which class should I take?</p>

<p>I plan on majoring in computer engineering in college. If it helps, here are the schools I am interested in:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Duke</p></li>
<li><p>University of Illinois </p></li>
<li><p>Cornell University</p></li>
<li><p>University of California</p></li>
<li><p>Carnegie Mellon</p></li>
<li><p>MIT</p></li>
<li><p>Michigan State</p></li>
<li><p>University of Michigan</p></li>
<li><p>Northwestern</p></li>
<li><p>Notre Dame</p></li>
<li><p>Purdue</p></li>
<li><p>Rose-Hulman</p></li>
<li><p>Stanford</p></li>
<li><p>University of Wisconsin</p></li>
</ul>

<p>You will have to check each college’s English composition requirements and how they treat AP scores and transfer credit from other colleges in that subject.</p>
