So, if I understand you correctly, the University of Utah will let them start in January (and the private school is another college or university)? Starting in January doesn't sound so bad (it's better than 1 or 3 full years). Would they be more flexible if they saw your daughter's results from her college-level work in CA?
Yes, the private school is different, but will also accept both of them in January. My 15yo son initiated a meeting with admissions counselor to discuss taking Calc there this fall. We were told with his scores and grades, he could be admitted, but due to the deadline, he'd have to wait until January. Same thing with the U (Univ of Utah). I'm still trying to work with the U though, since their final admission date for regular students is much later than the private university.
The main problem I keep stating is that if they don't have a high school diploma from our state (UT), they do not qualify for most of the academic scholarships available.

She'd end up with a California diploma, but who cares? The Utah credits would just transfer back to CA.
I never thought of doing this with the original school in CA! I am considering doing this through a private school out-of-state. There are several schools I have found, who will allow her to earn a high school diploma by submitting transcripts and meeting their crieteria.
Again though -
the academic scholarships for our state require a high school diploma for the state we reside in. For now, I am looking to see if an out-of-state diploma will still allow her to earn some scholarships versus no scholarships. Three kids in college at the same time will be difficult, which makes me hesitate to give up the financial opportunities they should qualify for.
Thanks for helping. You both have given me things to consider, and I really appreciate the understanding and support.
The timing of the whole thing offers a lot of pressure and stress to the situation.
