Will AS Degree Hurt My Chances at HMC?

@ErikPTK, My son was accepted as a freshman last year with a history much like yours. His community college was dual-enrolled with homeschool, and he officially received his AS before high school graduation. That’s the main kicker with most of the top schools. If the classes are dual-enrolled and on the high school transcript and you haven’t yet graduated from high school, you apply as a freshman. Classes taken AFTER graduation make you a transfer student. (I don’t know how age plays into this, but you sound traditional-aged anyway so not a problem.)

Please make SURE the high school puts the CC classes on your transcript.

My son was accepted to several top schools. I put his CC classes on the homeschool transcript I made. He also sent in the official transcripts from the CC.
