<p>This is really an aside, but how is it that many students have so many credits while still in high school? Is this related to where the high schools are located? For instance, I live on the east coast and never heard of students getting so many credits in high school. And even if students take college credits, they never use them in college beyond just a few credits. But 2 years worth? </p>
<p>Is it possible that the high school can’t provide a challenging curriculum? And how is it that colleges accept so many? My son had plenty of AP credits, mostly scoring 5s, but his college only accepted a max of 15 credits. This was also true for my other children, max 15 credits.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s not truly an aside question, because this detail may speak to the school’s rank. </p>
<p>OP, I heard there is a correlation between students who go to a public university will go to a public university (usually their in-state) whereas students who go to a private research university will more often go to a private medical school.</p>
