[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My son entered college with 62 credits and was able to earn two degrees in four years (a B.S. and a B.A.). [/quote] If this is true, that's great for your son, but wow, what a different HS experience. My kid's taking quite a few AP classes, but also wants to have time with friends and participate in her activities so will use AP's just for admission. I want her to enjoy the 4 yr college experience. They have the rest of their lives to work and earn money. [/quote] Our DS has 54 dual enrollment credits and has not taken more than the usual 7 courses/year and a couple over the summer - but has had a completely fun and "normal" high school experience including clubs, etc... - it just depends on the courses your school allows you to take and make sure all the electives are also dual enrollment of one type or another. He can start at as a junior at most state flagships or public universities and could do the multi-major or combined bachelors/masters track if he wanted to or just do more study abroad without having to worry about losing the chance to get his core course done in the home department.
