[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great question! If a student completes 30–60 college credits through an Early College program, many colleges may waive SAT/ACT requirements and treat them as transfer students but it depends on the school. Always check each college’s transfer policies. Also, if placement tests like the ACCUPLACER are needed, this guide can help: https://nursely.org/exam/accuplacer.

This is absolutely wrong. Almost no college treats any HS student who earns college credit while in HS as a transfer applicant, no matter how many college credits he already earned. The kid will apply as a freshman and will need the SAT/ACT if it is something required of first year applicants…even if the school accepts all of the transfer credit.[/quote]

This. I have an MCPS early college student right now that is applying to colleges. She is doing all the exact same things a regular HS student would do to apply to college. The only difference is she sends both transcripts (MCPS and MC) if requested. Also her letters of recommendation are written by professors instead of teachers so the administrative process is a little different there.

Everything else is 100% identical to the process my older non-dual enrolled child followed.

Many schools are test optional. It is really dependent on your child and the schools they are applying to whether it makes sense to apply TO or not. This is more about the specific circumstances of your kid than whether they are an Early College vs traditional HS student.[/quote]
