this is true unless your school just accepts the credits but they dont actually count for anything (which often is the case)... unless your really trying to go for an Ivy school, take honors classes and get awesome grades and your set

getting credit but not counting for anything? do you mean you get credits but it doesnt count with regards to replacing classes (like AP econ i got credits for but had to retake micro and macro if i wanted to take upper level econ) or do you mean like at yale where you can use them to replace lower level classes but you dont get credits for em?

either way, i came to school with 33 credits and have never taken more than 14 in a semester and had enough to graduate after 3 years. take as many as possible so you dont have to later on.

I go to Maryland and some AP classes (such as AP English) transfer in as "credits"... they are literally "General Credits" on your transcript, not counting for any specific class.
