transfer to university, he was a mid freshman. one semester already done. i love the AP course. also, another advantage to them, is they get an added 5 points onto gpa. so if they do not get a great grade elsewhere, like the b in math, that would follow him, a single AP class would raise it to mid 80's. two ap course brings it to 90's. one low b wont be the end of the world, with other AP courses to give that extra five points, per class.
