Damn dude, were you an AP Scholar?

[Vudoo4u2]

yessir, was a national ap scholar...what a fun program (cough) haha

but in all seriousness, it will make your college life a breeze in comparison to what it would have been without the ap program

Sucky. I elected not to take the AP Test. I was terrible at writing essays. The multiple guess part i would have nailed though.

Not necessarily. I took all 3 AP Physics, AP Chem, AP Calc, and AP World...

I got all 5's (except World because I didn't feel like writing the essay, 3) and my school doesnt give ANY credit for them. I can't even place out of any classes

nah I didnt mean necessarily in getting credit for classes. But the level of the AP program makes the equiv college classes a breeze when you get to them.

I went to U. of Illinois for the commodity finance program, and soon to go to either Kellogg or Wharton for their mba program part time while working.

for undergrad I am truly not convinced that paying the huge sums for the education there gives you anything other than a leg up when you try to get your first job (in terms of networking). I found that some jobs exclusively wanted ivy league, and some that said that, really just meant, show me you want this more than them.

I think education wise, for an undergrad program, you will get similar information whether you go to Ivy League or not...its the grad school that is important

I want to go back to college!! roar

[aznshrek88]

want advice? AP classes are bullshit. Take your classes through a local CC while in high school, get an A/B and your GUARANTEED credit...you can't beat that...on yea and the class doesn't cost over 200 bucks for a maybe you might get credit too

i guess, but some colleges don't accept them as units toward a major... and if your looking at grad school, most grad schools i think want you to take the classes you pass out of.

my AP units became simply "filler units" which means I don't need to take more bs classes to qualify for graduation (180 units total --45 units a year, 15 units a quarter), but that doesn't help if your planning on doing a minor...
