How does BC view Early Entrance programs

<p>I was very curious about this because I am in a very peculiar early entrance program. Its one of the few in the nation that is a residential early-entrance to college. It is not like taking classes at a community college at all. Essentially, you live on campus in a dorm with high school aged students, and you take college classes like everyone else at this moderate sized university. It is one of the few programs like this in the country. I still have to apply to BC as an undergraduate because technically I am still in high school gaining the remaining high school credits I need. Currently with the end of this semester, I am making a 4.0 with 15 hours, 9 of those hours being honors courses in the honors program here. I am still affiliated with my high school and will be graduating from my high school. </p>

<p>Now, I’m unsure if those credits gained will be transferred, but will BC look at this in a positive light, considering I took a rigorous first semester of college (including Honors Calc I, Honors Public Speaking, Honors World Lit) and kept my 4.0 from high school? I took a rigorous schedule in high school, and found this program would be best in keeping up the rigor.</p>

<p>Here is the detail from BC’s website:</p>

<p>One the one hand, you are officially on a college campus, so that counts. But, your coursework also counts for HS credit, so that does not…</p>

<p>Suggest you send your question to Admissions-Transfers. (The transfer office evaluates college credits while in HS.)</p>
