<p>One other thing your daughter can do. She (and you) can talk to her guidance counselor about having her dual enroll at the community college and/or take AP classes. Then look at the colleges to see which will give her credit for those courses. In that way, she could easily to what your older daughter is doing and graduate a semester early. Some of the parents here don’t do that because their kids are applying to ivy league and similar schools. Those schools don’t generally give much credit for AP or dual enrollment but lots of schools do and state schools certainly do. If she can shave off a semester, it could be part of your strategy.</p>
