this isn't really a thing in HS. What is she studying?

For admissions purposes, getting an AA only matters if your daughter wants to apply as a transfer student. That's where early college makes a difference, admissions-wise.

Otherwise, it's just one version of a rigorous curriculum, and your daughter should not do it for the purpose of gaining any kind of admissions advantage. 
If anything I'd imagine that there is a potential downside insofar as being off-high-school campus would limit her engagement with non-academics as a high school student -- basically everything that goes on at school outside of class.

To be the best college (read: 1st year) applicant she can be, she should choose the course of study most aligned with her interests, goals, and passions -- whatever that may be -- and get involved in her community (school, local, interest- or affiliation-based, however she defines "community.)

This is completely incorrect. Almost zero 4 year colleges/universities allow HS students to apply as transfer students even if they have an AA.

Ignore the entire post bc it shows this is all based on guessing (and she’s absolutely wrong). If she doubles down: please post every college/university’s admissions website allowing a HS kid to apply as a transfer (not a first year) student based on college credits earned during HS.

Kids that earn college credits in HS always apply as freshman. [/quote]
