@sleepymom- we did not do it either- but if you can, it certainly seems like it could save you a few bucks. My D came with a stack of AP credits, as well as 6 from the Tisch summer high school program. We have had long debates when she started about whether she would use those credits to graduate early (she could easily do it in 3 years) or pick up a minor, or any of a dozen other scenarios. Nice to have some flexibility
