Besides the fact that it shows initiative and all that great stuff, how good does it look to take some college classes at a local community college before applying to college. Would it be looked favorably upon by the adcoms to take a half day at school and then a few college classes or would they prefer a whole day of school and no college. An associates degree does sound nice…

<p>In general, your state school often has an arrangement with the community college. On the other hand, elites prefer students take honors/AP/IB level-track courses at their local HS.</p>
