Honors and Advanced Placement Courses
By choosing to take Honors and Advanced Placement courses in high school, students demonstrate that they are willing to challenge themselves in their academic career. These courses not only help form a favorable impression of the applicant to the reviewer, they can result in college credit.
Students who earn scores of four or five on Advanced Placement exams and/or scores of five through seven on International Baccalaureate exams taken at the higher level can earn college credit up to four units per examination.
