I wonder if colleges would look more favorably on college credits taken before 11th grade? DD13 (8th grade) is currently taking 2 "College in the High School" classes which she may or may not be able to get credit for from our local community college. But all things being equal, she'd have 10 credits this year, 10 next, and 10 the year after, then be able to access "real" dual enrollment in 11th and 12th.
