[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're listening to the zoom right now and it sounds like a para-professional program, not something for highly-abled students who are interested (and can afford) in attending competitive colleges. True?

False. There are different programs with different levels of difficulty depending on major (just like regular college). Successful students will have an AA or AS degree in their program, which is transferable to another college or university and the student continues on junior year to earn a BA or BS degree. I know a couple kids who dropped out of their magnet program to participate last year and this. My own kid is a junior this year and taking pretty rigorous courses and loving it. Are they highly able? Yes. Can we afford competitive colleges? Yes. Are they likely to get into competitive colleges? Yes.

How/which coursework will transfer depends on different college agreements, but first year core courses are first year core courses. Students won't repeat them. They may still have to take a certain number of credits at their final college, but they are more likely positioned to easily dual major or complete a BS/MS in 4 years.[/quote]
