60? Did you take 15 AP classes...? I came in with 18 credits off of 4 APs and I thought that was a decent amount.

Hmmm close...13, but 15+ is possible and more common nowadays, if you have good guidance from a counselor.

Language and physics is what gives the big boost for most people. I also went to a state school, where they accept more credit. Private school would have been different.
