The college admissions aspect of AP aside, my son will get college credits for 5 AP classes. In other words, he will be able to graduate in 7 semesters–saving $. It could also mean a head start onto the job market or graduate school or saving money from a job before entering graduate school.

My son is also thinking of double majoring, and having these courses under his belt will make it easier to do that. Double majoring can make it difficult to graduate on time,but not with AP credit in hand.

So don’t forget the academic value of AP.
