<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I've already asked UChicago about 'Running start' (dual enrollment program for 11th/12th in Washington) and transfer status it will give me. They said that since community college courses will show up on my high school transcript (???) I will be considered a transfer applicant.</p>
<p>I wanted to know if anyone has gone through this experience and if there's way to not be considered transfer applicant -- maybe take courses both at school and college?</p>
<p>Danke schon!</p>
<p>As I mentioned in another thread, my S was discouraged from enrolling in running start, so he did not. He was subsequently admitted. Perhaps arranging simply to take a few CC courses if a corresponding AP course is not available can be worked out with your school. My S took a distance learning course, which did not affect his first year status.</p>
<p>The situation is that I have only four AP courses to be taken at my school and about 8 spots during senior/junior years.</p>
<p>I don't understand what you mean by 8 spots? My S took a total of 6 AP courses (many of the rest were called honors), if I recall correctly. So, if you mean 8 more are available you should be fine.</p>
<p>My school runs on block schedule and I have: 16 semesters of classes to take in 11th/12th grade. I have three APs left, from which two (AP Bio, AP Lit) take two semesters and one (AP Gov) takes one semester (as usual block schedule class). So I have 11 semester spots left for which we don't have any good classes.</p>
<p>Will the HS school provide HS credit for the CC courses such that they appear on your HS transcript? Perhaps if you are not formally a part of running start, but simply take a few courses, you may be able to apply as a first year. Sounds like some input from Libby may be in order here. I believe she is the NW representative, so she should be aware of the issues with RS.</p>
