Recently, while looking at my high school transcript, I discovered that I have enough credits to graduate distinguished a year early. (I took some high school credit classes in middle school and “Credit by Exam”'d a few as well), so i went through and planned everything out for the next few years or so until i found a problem. Although I may do a half-college/half-highschool schedule my senior year, or only take a half year my senior year
The college i would ultimately like to get into UT Austin for Mathematics and Physics. If i were to apply right now with my current scores I think I would have a fair shot at getting in (Rank: 12%, WGPA: 106, SAT: 1520 (800 Math, 720 R/W), 14 AP Classes taken by my junior year, all with a 4 or above except WHAP, All-Region Band Sax, and Eagle Scout).
What I recently decided on doing was taking summer college semester at UTSA (local) and taking some Math, Physics, and Comp science classes beyond the high school level. My main worry for all of this is where all my credits will go that I got from the AP exams if i transfer to UT sophomore year, and how much harder it will be to get into UT with transfer than direct application.
I really want to start going to college so that i can get into the upper division mathematics and sciences, and i have knocked out almost all of my core classes with AP exams, so i don’t have to take those. I just have no idea whether it would complicate my chances of going to UT’s College of Natural Science.
(I also looked at the CAP program between UTSA and UT, but it doesn’t work well for students who have already taken all their core classes.)
Thank you!
