Each college can judge your hs classes and place extra weight where they choose to. So, College A might weight Honors and AP classes. College B might only weight AP classes, but can still see from your transcript that you took more rigorous classes. College C might weight Dual Enrollment courses taken at a college, while College D does not make them a part of your high school GPA at all.

So, if you have any clues about where you might want to attend college, check out their website to see what they value and how they weight different types of courses.
