[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter will graduate from MC’s early college program this May.

Yes - everything is free, right down to the goggles needed for chem.

Yes - early college students have an advisor at MC.  The pp is not a troll.  I am copied on the advisor’s emails regularly.  Her MC advisor is the one who places my daughter, and the others in her cohort, into classes and serves as their sounding board.  My daughter sees her MC advisor multiple times each semester.

I believe early college students are being confused with MCPS students who take one or more dual enrollment classes at MC but take most of their classes at the high school junior and senior year.  These students are advised by a high school dual enrollment program coordinator.  Early college students have an MC advisor bc they are never at the high school.

UMD does not automatically accept early college students into their freshman class.  I heard they used to - but that is definitely not the case anymore.  Early college students apply to UMD like everyone else.  If an early college student is accepted and enrolls, UMD guarantees they will accept all of their MC credits.

So far as MC’s reputation in the academic world - and comparisons to Nova -  I only know my daughter’s experience.  My daughter has had mostly rigorous classes at MC.  She has felt pushed in science and math classes especially.  Yes, a few classes required for core credits, like music history, were a joke.  But they were the exception in her experience, not the norm.  My daughter was accepted ED to a respected private university for next fall.  The admissions officers there must have viewed her MC early college classes positively, and believe she is ready for their coursework next year,  or I cannot imagine they would have accepted her ED.

Congrats!

Also I agree there is a coordinator for early college but the PP was describing a scenario where they both had a coordinator at MC AND they had to pay out of pocket. I don’t think there is any MCPS DE program where both of those can be true at the same time.
