<p>Brian - Congratulations! My son is in his second year at Swarthmore and loves it. Good information and advice earlier in this queue about AP’s. I can tell you that my son had great AP scores, and at first did not go for credit. Then he took a 1/2 credit German course his first semester (after 5 years of Latin in high school). He needed to take the second half of the course the second semester, but it conflicted with a course in his major. So, at that point he worked with his advisor to get credit for one of his AP’s (I think it was Chemistry?). My goal was to avoid summer school, but otherwise he takes a regular course load each semester.
The train to Philly is so convenient. Just keep working with your advisors to see about taking classes at UPenn if that works for your schedule and major.<br>
Congratulations again! It’s a wonderful school.</p>
