^Guessing for PSEO and HS graduation.
@PurpleTitan @MYOS1634 I currently have more than enough credits to graduate so that isn’t a problem. As for PSEO (aka dual enrollment, guessing myos1634 might be minnesotan), looked it up and it says “full-time [is] three or four classes per semester” so I would still be considered full time PSEO, just my credits might not fit the minimum of 11 credits to be considered a full time UMN student. But honestly I don’t think that matters that much, it just wouldn’t look as good to be taking 10/11 credits my last semester rather than 15/16.
If I’m allowed to late register and take the AP tests at another HS, then I will probably just take 10/11 credits while also studying for the AP tests.
“But honestly I don’t think that matters that much, it just wouldn’t look as good to be taking 10/11 credits my last semester rather than 15/16.”
Look good to whom?
I think we’ve established this thread that German (and other European) unis could care less. And American colleges wouldn’t be expecting a HS’er to be taking a full college slate any semester.
If I’m just looking at international schools, you’re probably correct. I did apply to UMich and Duke (only US schools besides UMN I applied to) so it would probably look better to them. But honestly, I don’t find any of the three US schools that appealing unless I were to get a full ride. But that’s besides the point, I would still think that European universities would be impressed by more college credits (but even more impressed by AP tests).
It’s not about ‘impressed’ . To them, it’s just an equivalent of the minimum they expect from domestic applicants they might consider.
I do think that attending university in Estonia (which is cool and with easy access to lots of other countries/cities), either Tartù or Talinn (apply to both), then transferring to Germany or back to the US, is z good plan.
Keep costs in mind (transfers get lousy aid in the US; because most European students commute, you’ll need to find room, board, and transportation entirely on your own and deal with it in a foreign language, so select whatever university offers on campus housing or some form of residential contract to freshmen.)
