Any idea how they would handle Project Lead the Way credits? This is a program at certain high schools where students take engineering courses sponsored by an affiliated college (including Duke, Purdue, and many others). Pass the test at the end (like an AP exam) and get transcripted credit from the affiliated college. Over the four years of high school, PLTW students take a progression of engineering classes taught by instructors trained at the sponsoring college. For example, our school’s program is run by RIT. After passing all four tests, students will have 12 credits from RIT for these four engineering courses. Might this be something that Dartmouth would accept?
