As the parent of a Mudder-to-be (entering fall 2011), I think you’ll be fine. If at all possible, find a way to talk face-to-face to admissions folks , either by visiting campus or at a college fair or Claremont presentation. There are other kids at Mudd in similar situations - mine has a pile of college credits too, although his came via dual enrollment.
I would definitely say you should enroll as a freshman -1) enjoy your four full years and 2) it will be hard , even with college credits , to get the full core requirement and your major.
Don’t be shy! Tell them just why you took those college courses.
