I have not heard of any college that accepts college credits that also appear on a HS transcript, so please educate me. There was a recent thread exactly on that subject, by a parent, and most people agreed that if there was a choice to put the actual college course name on the HS transcript vs. a “science elective” with no name (in that case) on the HS transcript, it would be insane to put the college course on the HS transcript because of the potential of it not counting for transfer purposes.
I know at the college I teach at, we have had students get extremely angry at us because if they took the college class, ANY college class in HS, they cannot get college credit for it at our college or any affiliated college. If there are a substantial number of exceptions to that, I apologize, but I expect there aren’t that many people posting who have awarded and denied transfer credit for a research university in the past few years.
But the subject of the thread seems to be “am I screwed?” which means it is too late anyway. That’s just wasting time better spent on other issues. Perhaps the question should have been “how can I maximize the value of taking college courses during my HS career in terms of my college application and transfer credit?”
And to that I’d say:
- make sure to get a college transcript sent to the colleges you are applying to, and get at least one recommendation from a college professor
- find a college that does allow college courses that are on a student’s HS transcript to transfer in - my college definitely does not, no matter what, end of story
