Transfer credits

<p>From what I read, they seem pretty tough (want to examine syllabus and make sure 80% same content, tests, textbooks).
I am a bit afraid my son will transfer and lose a year of his life ! He has lots of AP tests but his school ILR would only take 12 credits that way, the rest of his freshman credits are a mix of common and very unique classes. What will happen to the more unique classes ? </p>

<p>When I transferred, a lot of my classes from my previous school were lumped into the “general elective” category. ILR seems to be more strict on what they will approve for their required courses, but from my experience they were pretty generous with granting me at least elective credit (58/64 credits transferred into ILR). </p>

<p>My advice would be to talk with Ian Schachner, the director of admissions at the ILR school. He should be able to give you at least a general idea of what may or may not transfer, and what your son should be taking at his current school in order to maximize transfer credits (assuming your son will stay at his current school for at least one more semester). His info can be found using the link below:</p>
