Well, I want to apply to Yale’s E.D. program. During my junior year, I switched from my regular high school to the dual enrollment program in Miami Dade College. This program allows a student to take three high school courses during the morning instructed by high school teachers, on the college campus, and finish their +3 plus college classes of their choice in the afternoon. At the end of their senior year, the student should have enough credits to graduate with an A.A. degree that is transferable to only schools in Florida.
