Several. Where exactly are you? I'm in Raleigh, NC. and NC State University gave me credit. I took AP Biology...made a 4 and they gave me credit :)

If you take AP chemistry (or other science) that will knock out part of your pre-reqs, but to get into med school you will need more than just one biology and one chemistry. Even if you AP all possible course that meet pre-med requirements, you will still have to take higher levels of the same course.\nBut if you don't AP those course, you will have to take those basic course PLUS the higher levels. So either way getting credit for AP classes will help you out.

Getting a B in an AP class.  A C is negotiable.  Colleges are more impressed by the difficulty of courses that you take rather than if you made all A's in easier classes.  Plus, if you score a 3 or more on an AP test you are likely to get actual college credit for it.  \nColleges want you to take full advantage of the resources available to you.

Well when you are in high school, is some schools there are credits (which is the way I have to do) anyways I have to get 24 credits to graduate from high school to go to college, it is possible for me to be a 3 year grad and not go into my senior year but not quite so sure about 9th grade since I am already in 9th grade.

Universities don't look at the school as much as what classes you take in that school.  If you're doing well in AP and Honors classes, then you should be fine.  In some cases, such as prep schools, they look at classes you take and activities you are involved in based on the reputation of the school.  So if you're going to a school with a well-known educational system, and you're taking honors classes, they should realize that.  Its not as important to be in the top 10% as it is to take advanced classes and do well in them while involving yourself in other activities.

They usually do count. When you apply for colleges, they look at your transcripts which has every single class and grade listed. Good Luck!!

Uhm, yeah but there's a lot more to it than that. You still have to study a standard curriculum. You can substitute SOME life experience for credit, but this usually involves a long petitioning process whereby you must present some evidence that it substitutes for a class.

You should try to get some of the lower division requirements out of the way. This will vary from UC to UC. Check up the requirements for your major at the UC's website. Then, go to Assist.org -- choose your UC choice and your community college -- you can see which classes your CC offers that get you credit for those UC requirements. You may even be able to search by major on assist.org. It's a great resource.

Don't risk your A's and B's--but if you can get a D in this history class in addition to A's & B's, you might get credit and never have to take it again.  That happened to me with linguistics--got a D-, but got credit.  Amazing.

many community colleges will accept an ACT score of 17, but i'm attending a private liberal arts school in nebraska and their lowest is 18. possibly just try taking the ACT one more time will up our score the extra point/points you need to make your college choices more numerous.

to be in honors classes u have to make sure you study HARD. your expected to do ur work all of the time and have good grades.  To get into honors classes then you have to make sure you get high grades and participate a lot in class to show u are interested in the subject and actually want to learn more about it.

it doesn't matter what subject.  what college care is that you're taking AP class & hopefully do very well in class & on the AP exam.\n\nAP courses get credited to college load, but it's good to take college courses.  Think of AP class as college preparing class instead of replacing college class.

As far as I know, they do. What matters most is not the fact that you do an honors program, but that you graduate with honors. A 3.3 GPA is c-u-m laude, 3.6 is magna c-u-m laude, and 3.9 is summa c-u-m laude. There used to be another one higher for it, but not even universities like harvard use it.

Usually, we use numbers too. We say 15 of 20 or 17 of 20 and so on . This goes only until the end of the high school. \nAfter that, in college, or grades are "pass, good, very good, and excellent"\nPass is from 50% to 65%. Good is from 65% to 75% very good from 75% to 90% Excellent is from 90% all the rest of the way.

yes, because when you take honor classes, an a is worth a 5 not a 4, and when you add all of the classes together, and multiply them by the possible grades wich is divided by 4 you get a number higher then a 4.0.\n\nEX: Math Honors A=5.0\n    Science Honors A=5.0\n    Regular geography A=4.0\n    English Honors A=5.0\n\n    Overall GPA is 4.75 if you get those grades

well, right now i'm in AP ush, AP chem, AP physics B, AP lang, precalc honors, and some other mandatory credits along with 7 extracurriculars. Depending on the teacher who teaches each course,  you might have different work loads, but i would caution you in taking this path because AP courses are very demanding. Be careful of getting yourself tied into a knot. And note, don't EVER Take about 3/4 or more AP classes without an off period unless you have no life or extracurriculars, because i am going insane right now. Take it from someone whose in the position right now.\n\nhowever, if you think you can manage it, it would be worth your while when you get to college. So, sit down, a write a list of all the classes you need and want to take, and list the pros and cons and reason whether or not you need that credit. It is not worth it if you take the class just for the credit and feel miserable all the way through and you didn't even need the credit.
