Just as the title says... what are the pros/cons of AP vs Dual Enrollment? i.e. AP English Lit. or Comp. vs English 101
Very big difference actually.
AP- Same level class, but have to take very hard exam at the end for college credit(need to pass for credit). Free(pay for AP test). More work I think.
Dual Enroll-Not usually free. College class. Only can take a certain number of credit hours per semester.Takes up time during school day.
All depends on what you want to do, I think AP looks better on a transcript though. Don't ask me, I have done neither of these things.
My 2 cents: Don't do duel enrollment. Save college for when you get there, you will be plenty prepared, one CC class isn't going to change that. The CC grade will stick with you when you apply for medical school. Haven't you seen enough people on SDN with a crappy GPA because of CC classes they took in HS?
