My son is a junior at an early college high school, so he will graduate with his associate’s degree. His school is tiny, only 49 kids in his class, so he won’t be in the auto admit. He also wants Mays, which means we are in for a long wait next year. We are doing what we can to increase his rank, improve GPA, increase sat score, and practice for the upcoming psat.

When admissions looks at his application, will they consider Dual Credit courses similar to an honors class or an AP class? Or will his course rigor not be considered as tough as an AP class?

Do you have any recommendations for what he can do now as a Junior to help the process go smoother next year?

I am an Aggie and we recently took him and his girlfriend to midnight yell and a football game and they both fell in love. They toured Mays and several residence halls and have their hearts set on coming to college station.
