Taking College Courses in High School

<p>I'm interested in how taking college courses as a high school student will affect admissions. My high school gets about 30 free courses every semester from a local university (top 50 liberal arts), and I will have taken 3 courses before I graduate, a summer engineering course, and two philosophy courses during my senior year. I would take sciences, but the labs don't work out nicely for sports and other classes. </p>

<p>How much of an impact will this have on admissions to top level schools?</p>

<p>If it comes on a separate transcript from the college and you don’t get high school credit for it, it’s a big plus. If it reads “college calculus” or something similar on your HS transcript it will appear similar to an honors class I think.</p>
