While with your associate’s, you may see no reason for these credits not to count, some schools will see it differently
For example,
Duke:
http://admissions.duke.edu/application/instructions#general-instructions-transfers
Like I said, depending on when you receive your HS diploma and officially “graduate HS,” this will vary by school, so you may end up submitting a mix of first-year and transfer applications, or you may find your application list truncated. The college counselors (and probably the admissions offices) will have some sense of what each school requires.
