<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>I'm applying for a TAG to UCSB in case all else fails (nothing against UCSB, I just want to leave my hometown) and have a rather important question. While a senior in high school, I took several courses at the local community college via dual enrollment. I've included those under courses I've taken in my TAG app, but I'm unsure of what I should use as the date I actually started attending that community college.</p>
<p>As of right now the date I've stated is August 2011, the date I enrolled as a "college student". Prior to that, I had been taking courses since August 2010 as a "high school student". I recall when applying to college out of high school, the courses I took via dual enrollment did not qualify my as a "college student" for the purposes of applying to UC's.</p>
<p>So what do I do? I assumed I was supposed to include those community college grades I received while in high school. But what do I use as my official start date?</p>
