<p>CRUCIAL INFO:
I'm an early-college high school student, so my coursework was pretty limited all through high school because I was just getting all of the HS requirements done and then moved straight to being a full-time, on-campus college student. I'll graduate in May with my AA and 76 college credits earned while in high school. I'm not expecting any of these credits to transfer-- I did early-college because I wanted the challenge, not so much because I wanted to graduate college quickly.</p>
<p>Will it be a major disadvantage that my transcript shows only kind of generic, general ed classes, even though I've been a full-time college student since I was 15? I made it pretty clear in my application that this was all that was available to me, and that my education was really the best quality I could have received-- much better than if I had stayed at my local high school.</p>
<p>The main theme of my application was that I'm a social/environmental justice advocate who loves science and journalism. </p>
