Word to the wise: Don't take classes for college credit in HS

<p>I'm a college senior, starting to submit my applications to grad school. The summer before my junior year in HS, I took one class at a CC (non-dual credit), just for fun. It was nothing related to HS or what I would later do in college, and I enjoyed it (and did well--received an A). Now, I'm having to track down, order, and pay for that transcript because grad/med/law schools require transcripts from every college attended. It was a good class but not worth the present hassle, IMO.</p>

<p>Did the college you’re attending accept the credits taken during high school? I’m currently in my last year of high school and am enrolled in dual credit courses, but I heard that a lot of private colleges don’t even accept any transfer credit. This, in addition to you said, is convincing me to not pay for those college credits, period.</p>

<p>Um…maybe if you’re only taking 1 class…but getting 1 transcript at like $5/copy shouldn’t be a life-changer.</p>

<p>It’s quite a pain to track down when you haven’t had anything to do with that school for 5 years, though.</p>

<p>As long as you remember the name of the school you’re good. There should be online transcript request forms…you fill them out and you’re done. There are much harder things in life 0.o</p>

<p>Sending a cc transcript is like $2 dollars…no big hassle here.</p>

<p>Oh eff, that does sound annoying. But it’s too late for me to back out.</p>

<p>It’s not hard to get a college transcript sent, and I’m sure it takes alot less time than the 3hour * 15 weeks + HW that the real college class would have added onto your schedule. Get out of as many useless college courses early as you can, sending a transcript should be the least of your worries.</p>

<p>For some reason I feel like the two Ivy League Upperclassmen writing classes I am taking right now will help me much, much more in life (and the college admissions process) than having to track down the transcript will hurt me…</p>

<p>This is terrible advice imo. Dual enrolling at community colleges helps you fulfill HS requirements, and undergrad colleges will like that you’re going beyond what’s required. You must be really lazy to think that calling your CC and asking for a transcript is too much work.</p>
