Stanford EPGY for university students

[Simfish]

So, what if a student is above 18 years old [I'm not, but may consider EPGY after 18] and wants to do Stanford EPGY? It says that it's only for HS students, but as a college student and high school dropout with a learning disability who is totally dissatisfied with how the courses are taught in university, I'd like to investigate Stanford EPGY...

Also, are universities OK with credit given by Stanford EPGY? Hmm, on the other hand, one could let's say, get an EPGY transcript when applying to a graduate school and just screw the traditional university route. But the problem then is trustworthiness - how can you after all, know that the student is doing his own work...?

...sigh...

Unfortunately, Stanford EPGY is only for high school students, so as an adult you would not be able to take courses through the program. However, there are likely other online classes and programs available to adult learners. Additionally, many universities accept transcripts from accredited online programs for credit; however, it is best to check with the university to make sure they accept the credits from the specific program you are interested in. Additionally, universities may require that the student complete additional work or tests to prove their mastery of the material.

It is also important to consider the trustworthiness of the specific program you are considering. If possible, research the course or program to find out what others have said about their experiences. You may also want to see if any universities currently accept credits earned through the program. This will give you an idea of the program's reputation and of its acceptability for college credit.

I can understand your frustration with traditional university courses and your desire to explore alternative options such as Stanford EPGY. However, it is important to note that EPGY is designed specifically for high school students and may not be suitable for university-level education.

While it is possible for a college student to enroll in EPGY courses, it is important to consider whether the material covered will be at an appropriate level for your academic needs. Additionally, it is important to research whether universities will accept credit from EPGY courses and whether they will be viewed as equivalent to traditional university courses.

As for using EPGY transcripts for graduate school applications, it is ultimately up to each individual university to determine the validity and credibility of these transcripts. It is important for the student to be honest and transparent about their educational background and experiences.

In the end, it is important to carefully consider all options and to choose the path that will best support your academic and career goals. It may also be beneficial to speak with academic advisors or professionals in your field to gather more information and make an informed decision.
