<p>MD mom, the link that was provided for the Transfer Credit is the correct one for OP to use to see if the planned courses at the specific cc will transfer to UMD and what CORE requirements may be addressed. </p>
<p>Julieannab, I assume the OP is asking specifically about UMD. D1 “ran out” of math courses at her high school, but she didn’t want the disruption of working in classes at the community college and still trying to be a high school senior. She took additional AP courses that met CORE requirements, and ended up with something like 53 credits at UMD. I don’t think that UMD has an AP or CC credit bias. Coming in with either one shows that you had initiative to stay challenged. Admissions decisions are mostly numbers-driven at a place the size of UMD. When it comes to special program or merit aid considerations, I do not believe that either would be perceived much differently from the other.</p>
<p>RE: retaking courses related to your major…Even within their majors (each D had/has 2 majors), neither of my Ds retook any courses that they got AP credit for. If you really had a pretty easy time of it and got a “5” on the test, (and are willing to go back to brush up on something when/if it’s required for future classes), retaking the course isn’t always required. Freshman advisors generally recommend retaking the major-related courses, but you know yourself better than anyone.</p>
