[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a question as to how this would help get a high achieving HS student into a more selective college, in comparison to AP or IB program. I am also confused when a PP said there is a better peer group at MC. Aren't the majority of those in MC classes older than HS students enrolled in community college, whereas in AP or IB program you are with other kids your age who will likely end up going to other more selective colleges after graduation? The peer group statement doesn't make sense to me. Please explain.[/quote]

My DD who is in the biological science program takes all her classes with “early college” students not regular MC students.
I think people are confusing early college and dual enrollment.
Early college students are taking full time MC courses and just do Athletic things in their high school.
Most of this students took AP courses during freshman and sophomore year and wanted to have specialized  educational experience in computer science, biological science, nursing or business.
Colleges will look at AP/IB/ and taking CC courses in high school favorably.
