One potential drawback of dual enrollment classes is that they can be more challenging and demanding than regular high school courses, which may overwhelm some students. Additionally, students may struggle to balance the workload of college-level classes with their high school responsibilities, potentially leading to stress or burnout. Finally, the credits earned may not always transfer to every college or university, limiting their long-term value.

Check with your local community college. Some college's promote the dual enrollment program, and others do not. Either way, your local college should be happy to provide you with information about dual enrollment and the requirements of dual enrollment. :)
Concurrent enrollment
Dual enrollment courses allow high school students to earn college credit while still in high school, often resulting in a smoother transition to college-level coursework. Unlike AP courses, which require a standardized exam to earn college credit, dual enrollment typically guarantees credit upon successful completion of the course. Additionally, dual enrollment can provide a more rigorous and immersive college experience, often featuring smaller class sizes and direct interaction with college faculty. This experience can enhance a student's academic profile and readiness for higher education.
I got accepted for Fall 2010. These are the classes I took in my last 2 years: American History (Honors) English IV (Honors) Physics Chemistry AP Macroeconomics (3) AP Language/Comp (4) Sociology (Dual-enrollment) Religion (Dual-enrollment) Speech (Dual-enrollment) International Relations (Dual-enrollment) US Government (Dual-enrollment) Precalculus (Dual-enrollment) Trigonometry (Dual-enrollment) When I submitted my transcript to UF my GPA was 4.0 (unweighted) and 4.25 (weighted). I scored 1410/2110 on the SAT (730 Math, 680 Reading, 700 Writing). These aren't the best stats or the strongest courseload, but I think the 1 year of Dual Enrollment and the SAT score are what helped me the most.
