<p>Hey Bernie,</p>
<p>Emory is one of the more generous ones when it comes to credit. Most privates (like Vandy) say that they are a “4 year experience” as their reason to not accept much credit for incoming freshman. Even Emory for dual enrollment states this: “[if] The course taken does not count toward a high school graduation requirement”</p>
<p>[AP</a>, IB, and College Credit Policies | Emory College of Arts and Sciences Admission](<a href=“http://www.emory.edu/admission/admission/first_year_application/ap_ib_college_credit_policies.html]AP”>Admission | Emory University | Atlanta GA)</p>
<p>Thus, if a person took Calculus at Georgia Tech under dual enrollment but it was used as a math credit for high school grduation, Emory would not accept it. (Emory’s policy is almost identical to Harvard’s. ) The purpose of dual enrollment is to simultaneously get college credit while completing high school. Generally the vast majority of college classes a high school student takes is to complete their HS requirements while earning college credit and Emory will disallow. </p>
<p>In my D’s case she was dual enrolled since the 11th grade and all but one of her classes were used towards high school graduation: Eng Comp I, Eng Comp II, US Hist I, US Hist II, Chem I, Chem II, Calc I, Calc II, Intro to Psych, World Lit I, World Lit II, Micro Economics, Poli Sci, Statistics… The amount of these Emory would give to her as credits : a big Zero. </p>
<p>The question is, since you are knowledgable in this area: If a person takes Calculus at Georgia Tech or UGA as a dual enrolled student, why will Emory not give credit if it was also used for HS credit while if the same person in the same Calculus class would be given credit if the classes were taken over and above what the student needed for HS graduation?</p>
