So you mean I shouldn't wear my cheer uniform to my college class on game days? :cool:If anything, it will 99.9% of the time count for at least an elective. That is 3 hours down out of 90 for your degree. Bonus points if it counts towards your degree requirements.
Example:
Say you wanted to major in Finance at Mizzou (picked at random a degree for this)
You look at the class outline they recommend for that major: Finance and Banking | Trulaske College of Business
Then say you took Math_____ at ____ Univ previously though (Calc ;). You look at what the transfer credit would count as for Mizzou (click potential transfer student, then a university & it will show you classes from that univ on left, and what it counts for at Mizzou on right) : An error has occurred.
and then see if it matched anything in the degree plan (1st link). If not, it will prob just transfer over as an elective.
The more electives or classes you can get out of the way senior year, the better. It is so much nicer taking just 12 hrs rather than the suggested 15 (aka 4 vs 5 classes in one semester). Also, don't worry about being the only HS kid in a college class. You are still the same age as them essentially (give or take 1-2 years), and no one cares in college. Just keep it on the DL that you aren't just a commuter student haha& keep the HS spirit clothing at home.... you will be fine. Many times you don't even know who is in your class anyways.
Thanks! It looks like I'm going to get a lot of credit hours out of the way from all my AP classes (like, at least a semester's worth) plus Calc 3 if I take it so that's good!
