Thanks so much for sharing your son’s experience, momreads. My son will only be taking two AP tests this spring, but he will have about 40 units of community college credit, and I’d guess if UAH accepts transfer credits, he’ll have about a year’s worth of credits. Most are pretty general stuff, though: Calculus I, Italian 101, General Physics, Java Programming, English 105, etc. So I’m not sure what that would mean as far as honors goes. I think my son doesn’t care one way or the other if he’s in honors or not. He’s a “get in, get a degree, and get out” kind of a kid.
I’m curious as to what schools your son turned down and why he decided on UAH. Can I assume it was because of the scholarship? My son is actually 10 points away from the tuition plus room, so if he chooses UAH, I think he’ll retake SAT in June to bump up the score if possible
