[quote=Anonymous]Wrote this in MCPS but didn't really get any concrete answers. Is there anyone here that went through the Montgomery College Early College program and it really made that admissions difference? And our child felt more ready for college and was challenged? My child and I are going back and forth (it would be a business AA degree, thinks they want to be a lawyer, versus taking 4-5 Aps per year Junior and Senior year (child one year ahead in math)

Is it more desirable for colleges for your high school student to go to MC for early college (jr/sr years) or stay at an above average (but not "W" school) and take 4-5 AP classes per year. Kid is current sophomore taking all AP and honors classes, 3.8 UW gpa, one year ahead grade level in math.  This kid also will be playing a college sport at the D3 level probably (only 1 other EC because the sport demands practice almost every day and weekend tournaments). Expecting them to go to a 2nd or 3rd tier school, not enough extracurriculars for top tier because of sport balance and keeping up good grades. Expect their SATs to be around 1400, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. But i don't know how their sport will play into this either...trying to plan, first things first, MC decision incoming.[/quote]
