<p>I am facing a dilemma and I need some advice. Right now, I'm a junior in high school and I'm looking at umich as one of my top choices to apply to. My state (Minnesota) has a thing set up with the high schools where hs students can take college classes on campus at a college/university. The state pays for the tuition and books (not really relevant, heh). Anyways, I'm currently taking almost all of my classes at the University of MN-TC campus. I'm doing a half hs/half umn schedule this year and plan on not taking any classes at hs next year and just taking a fulltime course load at UMN. I was browsing Umich's site and found that they do not let me transfer my UMN credits to umich when if I go there.</p>
<p>With the amount of credits I have from this year + next year + AP, I can graduate with a degree in two years after HS at UMN. If not that, I can double major in the typical 4 years or do a BA+MBA in 4 years.</p>
<p>So my question is: is it worth paying out-of-state tuition for ~4 years to go to umich to get a degree or should I pay in-state tuition for less time and possibly get an extra degree?</p>
<p>Double check that. IF those course were NOT taken as courses towards your high school diploma (that is, you fulfill all graduation requirements without them) then they might be eligible as college credit. If they counted towards your diploma, then no. That's U-M's rule for students who do dual enrollment within the state of Michigan. Are you sure the standard is different for out of state students? It might be, but I wanted you to check because this point is sometimes misunderstood within Michigan.</p>
<p>That said, I doubt Michigan is going to let you come in with junior standing, or shave a full 2 years off your college time, but you might get credit for some of those courses.</p>
<p>Q: I'm dual enrolled in college courses while in high school. Will U-M give me college credit for those courses? </p>
<p>A: In some circumstances, U-M will grant credit for college courses taken prior to high school graduation. However, we do not grant credit if any of the following circumstances apply: </p>
<ul>
<li>the course is needed to fulfill high school graduation requirements; </li>
<li>the course is needed to satify U-M's academic curriculum requirements for admission; and/or </li>
<li>the course is taught at the high school or is taken only or primarily by high school students. </li>
</ul>
<hr>
<p>I took all of my classes with the intent of either fulfilling hs graduation requirements or getting a head start on potential majors to see what I like and what not. (I'd rather do that now than waste money and time down the road.) I guess that means none of my 2 years worth of credit will not transfer over from UMN to UMich. :-</p>
<p>With all of this being said:</p>
<p>Is it worth paying out-of-state tuition and such (~$35k) for ~4 years to go to umich to get a degree or should I pay in-state tuition at UMN for less time and possibly get an extra degree? The way I look at it, two majors are better than one.</p>
<p>What do you all think about all of this?</p>
