A lot of scholarships are for incoming freshman. Totally up to you how you want to do things, but just wanted to let you know. I have a child who is working towards an AA in high school via alternative methods, and one that won't be doing this because his future plans include a 4-yr school directly after HS.
Since she is a homeschooled student, it is important to delay high school graduation until the day after getting the associates. Though not 100% guaranteed, at the majority of colleges, in that scenario, you're still an incoming freshman applicant- there are some exceptions, but I look that kind of stuff up all day long, and only 1-2 times have I found a college that requires admissions application as a transfer student vs freshman when the degree was earned in high school. Some schools let you choose as well. But if it makes you nervous, you can look up various potential target schools and ask the registrar. Admissions should know the answer but they won't. They'll get it mixed up with those who earned a degree AFTER high school, and that's a huge difference.
(public school/private school students won't get to choose their hs graduation date)
I've seen many schools that say if you've earned more than 30cr or 60cr except for AP exams, then you're a transfer student; so you're saying there's an exception they don't mention, and that's "if you earned the credit while in high school, all of this is moot"? That doesn't sound right. Why wouldn't they say that as well?
