Are Dual Enrollment Courses Worth It?

There is a lot of hype around dual enrollment. Be it over the summer or during the school year, in-person or online, from a local community college or a reputed university, there are so many options for enhancing your college application by taking extra courses.

Yet, to what extent is it worth it, and how does one know which courses to take? Clearly the course must be something about a topic that you are passionate about, but that still only narrows it down to at least half a dozen courses and options.

Also what are your guys' thoughts on courses like EDX and Harvard University courses? The free aspect of them is clearly appealing, but what about certification? Is it worth it? I believe this falls under the category of dual-enrollment over the summer.
