Will elite colleges look for AP/CC courses taken before 9th grade?

Will keep that in mind. Thanks for pointing out those. Stanford (or other selective private colleges) gives very little AP credits anyway.

Now, with UC campus that dd has actually reasonable chances of getting admitted and is likely to end up with, rather than unreal dream schools like Stanford, etc., the policy is very very generous. It’s not unusual for an entering freshmen being treated as if he were a transfer, with all general education and lower level major requirements completed and junior stance for class registration, except that he can still enjoy 4 full years rather than 2.
