Well, I know MIT does:

"Studies completed at a recognized college or university with college/university instructors will be evaluated for credit in the same manner as studies completed by transfer students.

If you are seeking MIT credit for college coursework done elsewhere, you should obtain a course description and syllabus for each class for which you are seeking credit. This information should include the names of the textbooks used and chapters covered, the hours of class and laboratory time assigned to the course, and the number of weeks in the term of study. Your request to transfer credit to MIT will not be considered without these materials.

Credit and/or appropriate placement are offered if the subjects are substantially equivalent to those in the MIT curriculum and if the grade earned meets MIT standards. No credit will be issued without an official transcript sent directly to MIT by the issuing college or university. If you receive credit for a specific MIT subject and subsequently register for the same subject, the credit originally awarded is void.

Any course not documented by an official college/university transcript will not be accepted for MIT credit. This includes:

* Courses listed on a high school transcript, even if they were taken in a college

Courses documented with a letter from an instructor or principal in lieu of an official college/university transcript


NOTE: If you have a sufficient amount of MIT credit units, you may be offered sophomore status at the end of your first semester."

And think about it: In a community college course, you are covering Calculus I in a semester, while i the AP class, it takes a year…because you’re in high school. So, I think the CC class would be harder, right?
