<p>Running Start is a program that allows you to go college while still working to graduate high school in Washington. Usually, the program is used by students to cut 1-2 years off the time it takes them to earn a degree once they go to another college. However, in my case I'm using the program to increase my chances of getting in to another college. My first choices are Stanford or an Ivy League School. I am aware of how competitive the admissions are. The only reason I would get it in would be for math and science. There is very little information about how top tier colleges look at students that have done well in Running Start classes that are higher than AP level. I don't care if I don't get credit for any of my classes.</p>
