My daughter used 8 of her AP credits to lessen her academic schedule one year. And she got 2 research positions (paying), one doing classifications, another with a top oceanographer right within one month of her first year. The research allows her to get her masters when she graduates in 3 years. So instead of going to another school for another BA or BSc. Look at options that allow you to expand your CV. Because of her position with a top oceanographer, she could apply for a Hollins scholarship/internship. You need a full prof to give you a letter of recommendation.
There could be all kinds of options that you have not considered, in addition to your academic schedule that enhance your academic schedule.
