Does Dual Enrollment with Community College count as a similar weight to the AP/IB classes?

Thank you for your input! I think it is important to note that in my state, there is a partnership between state schools and community colleges, and all credits are accepted. I believe that this keeps the schools accountable for a certain level of rigor and would raise the prestige of CC classes. But you do raise a good point! Thank you!

Yeah that's how it is in my state as well. I think it's generally elite private schools that are more hesitant.

Yes it really depends on how well credits transfer Washington state is i believe the innovator if same numbered classes for easy transfer.

I say it’s kinda more impressive almost sorely because of all classes are college credit eligible. I know almost everywhere you can not take a whole lot of APs freshman year as my high school that offers I believe all of the AP classes and as such it is almost as if summersledje skipped high school.

Not sure where you've gotten your info on this, but that's not true. Dual enrollment classes are looked at similarly to Honors classes by most schools. AP/IB courses are more valued in admissions because of their standardized curriculum. This person is in an interesting situation and their chancing may not be entirely accurate because of that, and if they're aiming for state schools that have agreements with CCs then—beyond admissions—things like transferring credits should be fine.

I was basing this off of the presumption of an all college credit curcirulum and AP can not offer that and the problem is with transferring credit and I know an out of state school more or less has a database of common community colleges EX Chicago community college for Indiana Bloomington and if they know how they transfer it. I do not see a big problem as summersledje will nearly or get an associates degree. Though I may be entirely wrong

It's generally a lot more complicated than that. For purely admissions purposes, AP/IB > Dual Enrollment courses for the reasons I mentioned. With transferring courses, in-state public schools will typically have agreements with CCs, but out-of-state public schools and private colleges almost never do, and it's typically harder to apply dual enrollment credits to those schools.

Also, having that many DE credits as an applying student (or having an Associate's degree) may mean that you have to apply as a transfer student rather than an incoming freshman, which makes the admissions process more difficult unless that community college has an agreement with the school. Again, not a problem for in-state public schools, or OOS ones who have an agreement with that school. But it can be a significant problem for schools outside that range.
