For a good academic record for college admission, earning college credit early in high school students would be of great advantage.
This can be done in a number of ways, including Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) classes.
To allow high school students to attend college classes directly, some high schools are partnering with local community colleges or other schools. There are many benefits to this. First, you’re getting college-level experience ahead of time. Most students find this makes the eventual transition much easier. When you start college full-time, you won’t be surprised by the workload or the quality that is expected.
Early college credit is also very impressive on your application. This will improve your chances of getting into a better school. Most four-year colleges have lots of requirements for graduation, leaving little wiggle room for exploring other subjects. Having some of your credits fulfilled will give you the flexibility to pursue a double major, a minor, or even graduate early and save on tuition.
