Dual-Enrolled & Got my AA: Am I cooked?
Hi everyone! I don't know how common this is in the T25 transfer scene, but I graduated HS with my AA degree from dual-enrollment through a very small, mostly online college.
My AA is recognized in my top 60 state school (where I currently attend). And as a first-year fresh out of HS, I am academically recognized as a Junior with 74 credits (they counted my APs too). On top of that, I have just finished my first year with a total of 104 credits.
I could graduate by the end of this year, but I would prefer to re-take classes somewhere with more opportunity/room for growth. Especially because my AA courses felt very half-assed. I'm still hungry to learn, but I'm not sure what my dream school's admissions team will think about my transcript.
I have no clue on how this can impact my chances of transferring into a T25, so ANY feedback, tips, similar stories, and advice is more than welcome. Thanks for reading if you made it this far!
