Does AP classes matter if you take concurrent?
Answered

I'd instead get my bachelor's done quickly so I focus all my course load on concurrent. They are still pretty tricky classes from 1500-3000. Will it affect my chances to do that instead of working on my AP courses? I would have about 4 AP classes under my belt before I graduate.

Concurrent/dual enrollment classes are viewed as equal in rigor to AP classes, so they will give you the same boost in the college applications process. However, colleges do not always award credit for dual enrollment classes because they are not nationally standardized. AP classes are a better option if you want to shave time off your undergraduate studies, since the majority of schools count AP scores in the 4-5 range for college credit. Hope this helps!
