Dual credit courses - College Confidential Forums
College course work should be listed under the College and not under the HS. Here is what the UC application guide states: ** If any college/university-level courses were completed while in high school (including those completed as part of a dual enrollment program), applicants can add the college information after completing the high school ...

Hillsdale College "Survey," scam or real?
Did anyone else get a Hillsdale College “survey” in the past month or so? I’ve been going through junk mail from our trip and came across it in my pile, so I’m not exactly sure when I received it. That said, the contents bothered me. I know Hillsdale is conservative and they don’t take gov’t money, etc, but this “survey” (entitled National Opinion Survey of 1,000,000 US ...

Hi, I took community college courses (dual-enrollment) during high school. I have a separate transcript from the community college. These courses do NOT show up on my high school transcript.

UMD Common App Help - College Confidential Forums
On one of the parts in the Common App questions for UMD, it asks “Please select the number of college credits you currently have in progress. If you do not currently have any college courses in progress, select 0.” What does this mean exactly? I have taken many AP courses, such as Comp Sci A, BC Calc, Chem, Lang, Psych. I have also taken a few post AP’s like Multivariable Calc/Linear ...

College Courses and Grades
However, courses I am referring to are not dual enrollment courses but rather courses taken simply for college credit. Because I assume (correct me if I am wrong) that colleges that request the courses and grades section to be filled out use that as a meter by which to accept people rather than transcripts necessarily, I was wondering if this ...

How to enter dual enrollment classes on application?
Hi, I have a question about how do I enter my dual enrollment classes on the UC application? My high school offered us AP classes that also received college credit through an online university. Strange as it sounds, my AP Calculus BC class is also called Calculus II at the online university, and the two course names are listed together on my high school transcripts with my final semester ...

Difference between 4 credit classes and 3 credit classes? - College ...

I recently learned that many colleges use the 4 credit class system whereas mine uses the 3 credit class system. In the 3 credit system, students generally take 5 3-credit courses per semester for a total of 15 credits. In the 4-credit system, students generally take 4 4-credit courses per semester for a total of 16 credits. Taking this amount of courses per semester allows the student to ...

How to highlight credit awarded directly by college (not dual ...
Hello: There are some discussions about this topic, but we are not clear on how to really approach this. My son has put emphasis on community college courses. He has some AP courses: 7 done, 4 in progress; and some college courses: 11 done, 2 in progress, and will take 1 or 2 in the spring/winter. 7 college courses are related to his intended major, rest are GE. We want to highlight these in ...

Cal State Apply GPA calculation seems wrong? - College Confidential Forums
Dual enrollment/college courses must be reported on the CSU application (Cal State Apply) as college courses. They should be reported under the appropriate college and cannot be reported on the application as high school coursework. Once the college coursework is entered the student will need to match them to the appropriate “a-g” subject area.

AP vs Community college classes - College Confidential Forums
Unless your community college is the exception to the rule, it’s far better to take AP classes. In our area, AP classes are academically rigorous, to the point that they are the equal of even T20 level classes, but community college classes are so low level as to be rivaled by some middle school classes.
