High school & college?
#4
@panda08, Welcome to the board! You're the same age as my nephew, he began the dual enrollment process already and basically, it's a focus on three things. Dual enrollment, AP/CLEP, and additional ACE or NCCRS credits that interest him as well as any challenge exams options the college allows... He is pretty much following his sisters foot steps, the only difference is, she's in IB as well, which he's not keen on doing... (They took part in CLEP/MS for the freebies, the Sophia.org freebie and $149/year)

My recommendation currently is to focus on your dual enrollment first as those provide a GPA for future use if you decide to continue on with a local university. If you are doing well in the classes, take something similar in subject but doesn't duplicate your credits with alternative credit options such as CLEP/MS or Sophia/Saylor. In fact, you should take courses at the local community college that isn't available with alternative credit options mentioned above! Good luck, have fun, don't rush and go at your pace...

Last but not least, create a spreadsheet of your ASL Associates Degree requirements and note down which college that is, CA state has about 17-18 community colleges now that have opportunities to ladder into their own Bachelors without the need to transfer to a university, if you can get alternative credit plus your 3 years of free tuition, that's the 4 years required right there! In addition to what info previous replies have... you want to know which degree you want to end up with (Bachelors) and the institution you want to finish at... again, have a spreadsheet of that Associates and Bachelors degrees linked to your google or one drive, paste that to your reply here and we'll comment on options to completing those courses.
