Hey everyone, I'm aiming to get a good amount of AICE classes under my belt by the time I graduate. Does anyone know which college in Florida is most accepting of these classes for credit? I just want to make sure I'm earning these for a purpose that aligns with my post-high school plans. Thanks.
In Florida, AICE classes, which are a series of challenging courses offered through the Cambridge International Examinations program, are generally well-received and accepted for credit. However, the extent to which they are accepted and the specific credits awarded can vary from college to college.
For example, at the University of Florida, they generally award college credits for AICE exams on a course-by-course basis, dependent on your test score. Most of the time, a score of E or above is considered passing. Check their website for the most up-to-date information for a definitive answer as their policies might have changed over time.
Florida State University also recognizes AICE exams and awards credits. They typically ask for scores of A-E and the number of credits you receive depends on the score and the subject. It may range from 3 to 6 credit hours for each AICE exam.
And then there's the University of Miami. They look at AICE courses favorably during the admissions process and may award college credits for AICE exam scores of C or higher.
However, as the recognition of AICE credits does vary among colleges, I'd recommend reaching out to the admissions department of the specific colleges you're interested in attending to get the most accurate information. The institutions' websites often have charts or lists indicating exactly how many credits you can earn per exam. It's also noteworthy to remember, that the classes add rigor to your high school curriculum which can be beneficial during the admissions process.
