For the colleges that accept AP course credit, if a high school student takes enough AP classes, will s/he be treated as a transfer student at those colleges? If not, why not?*</p>
<p>Because the courses are used for high school credit also, I imagine.
It seems to be a disadvantage to be considered a transfer student- for admissions & for financial aid /scholarships.</p>
<p>I have known students who have taken enough AP & running start classes so that they are essentially a junior when they start college, but depending on the school those classes will count as elective credits, count as pre- reqs but not fulfill distribution requirements & allow them to take higher level classes or they count as fulfilling the college graduation requirement.</p>
<p>It depends on the student & the school which way they want to use them.
Or not use them.</p>
