Will AS Degree Hurt My Chances at HMC?

I know someone here who took a bunch of college courses in high school because her high school didn’t offer that many classes/the types of classes she wanted. I’m not sure if she ended up with a degree or not, but it seems like it’s sort of a similar situation, so I’m pretty sure you’ll be fine. It would probably be a good idea to write something about your academic history explaining everything. I want to say there’s a spot on Common App to explain things like that, but since it’s been a while since I filled out college apps (and I didn’t have anything unusual to explain), I can’t remember for sure. In any case, as long as you explain your transcripts, I think you’ll be fine, and it might be worth it to talk to the admissions office just to check.
