My school is not normal, how will it effect college admissions?

To preface this, I am a high school junior and plan to apply for music business.

I go to an online school which is basically like homeschool but more official. I complete assignments, have a teacher, take AP classes, and have normal grades as well as an official transcript. I will receive a diploma when I graduate but I’m stressed on how this type of school will affect admissions. Because I am not with my teacher all day, my classes are completed simply when I complete the state-approved hours so the dates on my transcript are very erratic (class completion dates are months apart) and I feel they will look suspicious when an admissions officer looks it over, will this be a big deal?

I also plan to submit SAT and AP scores even when it’s test-optional (like how a homeschool applicant would) just in case.

I wouldn’t worry. Colleges are familiar with all types of high school experiences. Yours isn’t that unusual.
