<p>Some states (like mine) are set up so that students leaving HS with an AA or AS can enter a state college as a junior. As a college educator myself, I think that is a pedagogically unsound practice for most students, including very bright students.</p>
<p>My own daughter will graduate with 50+ hours of dual enrollment, but we are agreed that she will transfer a maximum of 9-12 hours of that (depending on the school), but only so she can place out of freshman composition and eliminate the need to take more than 15 hours during any semester of her college career. It will also be credit by AP test, not transferred directly from the dual-enrollment college.</p>
