My D did both DE and AP and both counted at her nursing program. DEs seem like a slightly better option to me because no later test is required. Also at our high school some DE courses count as double the weighted score toward the high school GPA. For instance, an A would count as a 5 twice for those courses. Now that she’s a freshman nursing student both DE and AP courses show on her college transcript equally. And they both count equally toward her nursing GEs. She was able to go to SDSU’s website to see the course equivalents for AP and DE credits. And then reconcile with SDSU 4-year roadmap. For Nursing I recommend Psych, Stats instead of Calc, Poli Sci, Bio but check your intended schools’ 4 year road maps know to gauge the highest benefit.
