<p>If you are looking at credit for IB/AP etc, check what type of credit: does it replace a General Ed Requirement, a required class or is it elective credit? All are good, but your need to know the differences.</p>
<p>Have a real, honest conversation about money. And if there is more than one parental household (divorce, etc) make sure you have the conversation in both households with ALL parents (include the step parents). Know what type of information each person will have to provide and make sure they are all on board. I understand this is stressful, but better to do this now than next April.</p>
