<p>@SteveMa Good points. Thanks. 
You are right. Whats the rush?</p>
<p>College student chiming in, I havenāt read the whole thread, but my experience with dual enrollment spanned from 9th-12th grade. In 9th and 10th grade I asked to be put in a āCollege-in-the-Schoolsā science course which would meet after schools on weekdays and be on top of my course schedule. NOT a good move. I got Bās/B-'s which will be on my college record forever. </p>
<p>But then in 11th and 12th grade, at a much more mature stage in my life (teenagers change fastā¦) I did dual enrollment at a state flagship part-time and then full-time and got nearly straight Aās, my GPA was around a 3.9 for those two years.</p>
<p>So, in my experience being a high school girl, 9th-10th grade dual enrollment was no good but 11th-12th grade was great academically.</p>
<p>hey everyone! so iām not a parent, and i know that this may be a little late to post, but i am a dual enrollment student. so far, iāve accumulated 56 credits at the local community college, and am planning on graduating this may with 63 credits with an associateās degree in math and science. my guidance counselors have never even heard of students, like me, obtaining degrees before college, so iāve had to manage everything myself. over the past four years of high school, i have taken the most rigorous courses (13 ap classes by the time I graduate), and I have a gpa of 4.32 presently. but, i didnāt just solely take courses at the local community college; i also participated heavily in extracurriculars at both my high school and the college. however, despite all of this, i was still rejected from upenn early decision and notre dame early action. so, i donāt know if all my hard work really helps or not</p>
