<p>How does this look in terms of admissions? I wanted to take economics and philosophy because my school only offers those at the regular level.</p>
<p>Looks fine, if you choose courses transferable to your state flagship four year university.</p>
<p>State universities often accept same state community college credit better than AP credit anyway.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that some colleges add it to your gpa as a weighted course if you send in your community college transcript.</p>
<p>To the OP:</p>
<p>Do you mean in terms of whether or not selective colleges view these courses favorably in terms of making an admissions decision?</p>
<p>When I applied to UCs I had taken about seven college courses. I think it helped me a lot since I had only ever taken three AP classes and no APs my senior year. I got into every single UC as well. So I assume the college classes really helped.</p>
<p>@nina1228 yes. that is exactly what I mean</p>
<p>UC in particular counts a transferable community college course that fulfills the a-g subject requirements as an “honors” course (i.e. +1 GPA point if you got a C or higher grade) when calculating GPA for admissions purposes.</p>

<p>Other schools may be different.</p>
<p>Note, however, if you later plan to apply to medical school, that medical schools want to see all college courses and grades, including community college courses taken while in high school.</p>
