Earn college credit for your work. This platform is designed for students looking to streamline the AP credit policy search process at over 2000 College Board affiliated institutions. It allows students to simply enter their AP courses and scores, and our system checks for equivalent college credit at the specified school.
Prior to developing this application, my knowledge of full-stack development and other languages was very limited. I had finished learning the fundamentals of python and hoped to use it in more data-oriented projects, but I had no where to start. However, creating datasets of college credit policy data and manipulating it with python was extremely insightful. Through trial and error, I learned about complex scraping methods, localized databases, and back-end development. This project also allowed me to use my pre-existing knowledge of the front-end framework Bootstrap so that I could model the UI/UX off of current popularized university websites like ratemyprofessor.com or ratemydorm.com. In the future, I hope to integrate more features such as a "list all schools" function or more thorough credit breakdowns, but am continuing to collect user review and insight from current and previous high school students.
