One thing to consider about early college entry is a bit of an ironic twist. More parents than ever tend to be helicopter types-- and colleges DO tend to be much less nurturing and a lot more monolithic/totalitarian in their approach to dealing with STUDENTS... because they sort of expect that with the big stuff, parents are going to be getting involved.
This has consequences, though, when your child is in the spotlight to "prove" that they have every right to be there, and that their maturity is sufficiently high, etc.
It means that even when things go massively wrong-- you can't go into meetings with your child, you can't intervene other than to text or call your child directly.
This is probably okay with a child who is very assertive and vocal. It's not so okay with one that is more passive or tends to err on the side of politeness, not-making-waves, or pleasing authority figures.
This is probably a hidden feature/benefit to a program intended for early college entry-- that is that the institution has a grasp on the quirks of the asynchrony at work, and won't default to "must be immaturity" about every problem ever.
