598: Pros & Cons of Early College Entry

Listen Later

This week we are answering a listener question. Jason’s 9th and 19th graders are on track to exceed their state’s graduation requirements by the end of their third year in high school. They will also have surpassed the maximum number of AP credits many colleges accept. Should they try to start college early?

Listen as Megan and Erin discuss:

  • Factors to consider behold academics
  • Alternative options like dual enrollment and running start programs
  • Issues to consider for the SAT/ACT and possible PSAT impacts on National Merit
  • Potential issues with depth of extracurricular involvement
  • Times when graduating early is the best option

    • If you have questions for us, please send them to [email protected]
