Does dual enrollment look good on college applications?
Dual enrollment classes are much likely to affect your college grade point average (GPA), even if you are employing the classes as college credit. Many colleges only consider grades that students achieve while they are college students.
What is the difference between dual enrollment and AP college credit?
