If CAPd, should I accept it?

Hello everyone!

I had a question about the CAP program, and whether or not it is right for me. Frankly, I think CAP is the best I can do at the moment. Due to my own ignorance, I severely underestimated the value of my freshman and sophomore year. (I didn’t even know what class rank was, which really hurt said rank as a result.) I improved considerably my Junior year, and I have a lot of ECs, but I’m not expecting to get in. (That won’t stop me from trying my best to do so, but I’m trying not to set my self up for a break down.)

Anyways, here is my problem. I went to an Early College High School. All of the classes I took were Dual Enrollment. Because of that, I will have my Academic Core completed by the time I graduate. If I get CAPd, and I accept it, will I have to start over from the very beginning? Honestly, the only reason I came to this high school was because I knew my family wouldn’t be able to help me through college, as neither of them actually went themselves, and my dad has cancer, which, naturally, leads to a lot of debt.

So, in my situation, is CAP worth it? Will I have to start over again, or can I still do cap for a year and then transfer to U.T for my Senior year? (I want to major in History.)

Thank you for reading, and I hope to hear everybody’s input!
