@Michael3423 I’m not really sure what your picturing for dual enrollment classes. Students and professors are not told that there is a dual enrollment student in the class so other students don’t know unless you opt to tell them. My daughter picked her classes from the same schedule available to the college students and took her courses with college students. When she was at her college she did not spend any time with high school students. If there were other dual enrollment students in the class she had no idea. It wasn’t until grades were finalized that she spoke to one professor about a college recommendation that the professor found out she was in high school.
She did things like study, group chats, activities, eat etc with all college students. The only thing she couldn’t do was 1 or 2 special activities such as going to a prison to help with a reading program that required being 18 so she didn’t opt to do that activity. My daughter never felt like she was any different than any other college student while doing dual enrollment and never felt there was any special treatment/recognition.
Michael, multiple people have explained this to you. You want to go to Cornell fir undergrad. Even if you manage to finish high school in one year with all A’s (and you WILL need all A’s) you do not have any extracurriculars, any leadership, any possible work experience, any enriching summer programs or experiences.
Thousands of people apply to Cornell, and not only do they have all A’s, taken throughout four or three years of high school, they also have internships at notable universities, national awards, etc. You being able to complete high school in one year will not make Cornell want to accept you.
In addition, I hope that you don’t write your college application essays with the same attitude as you write your comments here. You come across as arrogant and entitled, and no college wants students like that unless their parents are billionaires and will donate a new library.
It has become quite evident that CC is not the overachieving place I thought it was. Keep in mind that multiple people have done not just what I aim for in a similar amount of time but double that. Your comments on me of my arrogance is from your perspective, being one that supports your opinion. I am not willing to give up my goals. It seems the scope to which CC members know is not nearly that of what I initially thought. All mentioned actual answers to my question have been within my knowing for at the minimum a year. I appreciate your concern for my pace of work along with how such actions will result in the long run, however, again, others have done the same and more. Before becoming a member of CC, I thought of CC as a place with many great achievers past that I could imagine. This CC thread has been baffling to me. I am in the works for a great solution currently. I am also surprised at the fact that the same points which I have already discussed never fail to come up again. A recent post mentioned dual enrollment, which I have previously thoroughly discussed why dual enrollment will not work for me. I will not be repeating myself on my reasoning however I would like to remind those posting of this. I no longer find purpose in this thread as it is an infinite loop of posts criticizing my goal, not to say that all posts are doing so but the vast majority.
You arrogance has nothing to do with your goals. Your goals are fine. Your arrogance comes from how you demand things from other people, refuse to do anything on your own, and refuse to even consider advice that multiple posters here have agreed on.
