My kid did a DE course and 2 AP courses. She did well on the AP exams, and got an A in the DE course.
None of these gave her any usable college credit. Her DE course was anatomy and physiology. She has now taken that course three times…her college required it as part of her major…taken there. She then took it again in professional school. Her AP credits were accepted but none applied to her major, and all were in areas where she took courses anyway as part of her studies.
But both did improve her weighted GPA.
I would suggest your daughter take the courses she is interested in taking…and not be too concerned with AP vs DE.
