Hello all,

Firstly, I apologize if this is the wrong section to post this in. I’m new here (first time poster) but this seems to be the most eligible forum.

I am currently a freshman. I would consider myself fairly intelligent, and I plan on taking a number of AP classes. I plan on being a computer science major in college, and I would love to be able to attend a competitive school like MIT. So, I read up, and found out that MIT, and many competitive colleges, don’t seem to offer credit for AP computer science. Because of this, and my interest in the field, I would rather take computer science classes at my local university (University of Iowa), as this would probably teach me more and look more impressive to colleges. Next year, my only AP classes will be AP European History and AP Biology. So, it seem that I could handle Computer Science I at the university. Am I deceived, or is this too much of a workload? Will this work through the Post Secondary Enrollment Options, as I will only be a sophomore?

Thank you
