I did over 5 (cant remember how many) college courses while in high school, all A’s except for one B+. I think it gave me a pretty nice step up in my application because I was able to really tie it in well to my overall “image” that I was selling to the college and it helped me overcome the fact that my unweighted gpa was 3.4-3.5. Mind you I was applying to schools mostly rank 20-40, but I got in most. I think that it will look good to show a passion and intellectual vitality. If you are applying to stanford, that might also help you because they specifically are looking for “intellectual vitality”.
