Should I take AP Lit or Dual Credit English Classes?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<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 I am not sure if Cornell will take the credit.</p>

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

<p>Did you take AP English Language last year? </p>

<p>I’m pretty sure Cornell would not accept your credits from a dual credit class (they didn’t accept any of mine) but they would accept your credits for the AP test. Also, if you get a 5 on your AP Lit test you get exempt from one freshman writing seminar at Cornell. </p>
