Transferring from a Big 3 to a state school

[cookderosa]

Totally agree - which is why I'm getting the stuff I'd already do in high school (like math, econ, English, science, etc) and getting it over with so I don't have to do it twice so I can go to a brick-and-mortar school once I've figured out what I want to study and really go hard networking and doing all the college stuff. So I definitely agree, I just think that it doesn't make a ton of sense to spend tens and tens of thousands on your gen. eds. and two extra years when you've already done a lot of the same stuff in high school.

I didn't suggest you're not learning things. I didn't suggest you spend more money. And I didn't suggest you spend 2 extra years duplicating what you're already doing in high school. You do know I'm a fan of homeschooling FOR college credit, right?

I said: keep your options open and increase your exposure to many new and interesting classes. (because separate and apart from learning things, you just haven't spent a lot of time on the planet, so the limits are not in your ability, they are in your exposure)

I also said: you're missing out by CLEPping out of an AA/BA at an online school (because you are 12 or 13, or are you 14 now? I forget. But, anyone who HAS CLEPped out of a degree - like I have- can tell you there are things you give up doing so. To think you're not giving anything up suggests you don't see the big picture)

Finally, I said there were 2 reasons to hurry: exceptional focus or running out of time. I don't believe either apply to you, but at the end of the day you get to decide and no one here is going to judge you one way or the other.
