[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone’s kid done the early college at MC where they get an associate’s degree at the same time as an MCPS high school diploma? My 10th grader is thinking about applying and I’m looking for some stories to add to the details on the web pages.[/quote]
I don't have any info about this program with MC/MCPS, however there was a similar program in the state where I grew up. I went to a state school and was unaware of this program when I arrived as a Freshman. Let me say that I was somewhat irritated to find out that other first year Freshman already had a full year of credits and were effectively Sophmores. None had AA's but all had credits from community college that transfers to our public 4-year university. Getting an AA is another level.

I'd say go for it if your kid is intent on going to a state school. You will save a lot of money and they will start college with a massive credit cushion so they should be able to probably complete a BA + MA in 4-5 years, which would be an awesome way to get started in life.[/quote]
