<p>Depends on what the courses are. If they are typical college frosh level courses (like what AP courses try to emulate), then they should be looked at similarly. If they are more advanced than college frosh level courses (e.g. multivariable calculus), then they should be looked at even more favorably.</p>
<p>However, note that grades earned in college courses taken while in high school do count to your pre-med or pre-law GPA, if you have any intentions of going those directions. That can be good if all of those grades are A grades, but not so good if they are B+ or worse.</p>
