Quote: At my school, I have the choice to take advanced courses for community college credit or AP credit. Is either one preferable over the other in regards to getting into the USNA?
Perhaps the OP was misunderstood: I don't know if this is what he meant when he asked the original question, but consider the following. My S had the choice, in taking his senior-level AP Calculus course to take the course "normally" as an AP course, or, optionally, (for the tuition money) also register with a nearby LAC (not a community college) to get 4 credits for the course, which is being taught to that college's standards. Either way, he takes the same course, the same homework, at his high school, etc. Some students have elected to take the AP test at the end of the year; he opted to take the college credit so that he could "show" through the college credit that he could accomplish work at that level.
In re-reading the OP's post, it could be that he was asking THAT question. If so, the question still stands, but it may be that it should be addressed to the area director in admissions.
