text: To start, schools that offer online education will be helping advanced students load up on classes. Many students want to get as many AP and honor classes out of the way before senior year, not only to help their GPA, but also to leave room for electives. At Generic_School many students take this opportunity and take online AP classes. My friend Generic_Name is a perfect example, she takes AP Mandarin. Generic_Name will have an amazing record for colleges, they will take notice of her diligence and if they had to pick between two students, the college will pick her. Online courses will also provide a chance for students to raise their GPA's. Grade point averages are very important and can determine who can get a scholarship and who can not. To conclude, online classes are a good opportunity for students to pull ahead.
