College?

[The Godfather]

Well, i am one year older than everyone in my class. I am a very good student, taking many AP classes. I am a junior this year. I found a school where i can take all the classes needed to graduate, in less time. Getting all my credits in like 5 months, and graduate 12th grade. Which is great for me because i need to get a steady job with more hours. However it does not provide any AP classes, so i don't know if this will be a good choice for colleges. Unless while i go to this school i can take ap classes outside of school? Is that possible? What should i do? Stay in my school or move and graduate earlier?

talk to the school you want to go to. they will have placement exams you will take. if you don't take AP classes, you won't do good on the placement tests and will not place out of the basic classes.

I dont mind going to a $hitty school for the basic classes in college. The 1st two years. I'm talking about the last two years. Or however many. Just about accepting me.

stay in school sounds like the right decision unless the place you are considering going to is well recognized by colleges in the area and distinguished.

I would go with the AP classes. You're a high school student so what money you might save by working isn't going to be that much. On the other hand, having really good AP grades can either get you into an elite university, or give you a lot of free credits at your instate university. If you're taking as many APs as possible, you might even have sophmore standing going into your freshman year of college.

Judging by your post, you should probably take a few more English/Composition classes as well

The only way he'll get credits in college for the ap class is if he takes the AP exams and scores a 4 or 5 from what I understand.

And depending on the course, some schools will only count them as gen ed credits.

I know certain high schools makes AP exams mandatory, but some schools they are optional.

AP credit is really only useful if you're going into the sciences/engineering.

not necessarily.

If they count it towards your gen eds, then you don't have to take certain unnecessary courses.

Maybe save yourself some money and save you some class time...
Some gen ed courses I took were ridiculously easy and fun, but when you have to wake up to go to the class especially after a night out... it's a pain in the ass. But then again, it's all of matter of scheduling and when the courses are offered.
