Hello,
My question is for admissions. My daughter is just a HS freshman at a very small charter school that does not offer AP or honors classes. The only thing they offer is dual enrollment at the community college 10th-12th grades, but since I work I cannot get her there next year. If she doesn’t do dual enrollment will this really hurt her in the admissions process? We live in CA and visited Vanderbilt this summer and she loved it so much. She is trying hard to set herself up the best way possible to be able to attend Vanderbilt. Thanks for any adivise.

Thank you for the question, Polly. In our review process, we evaluate a student’s high school transcript based on what is available at the school; students aren’t penalized because of their school’s limited offerings. Our best advice is for your daughter to take the most challenging curriculum (that she can do well in) that is available at the school. If you have more questions, I suggest you reach out to her Vanderbilt admissions counselor. You can find our listing at https://admissions.vanderbilt.edu/your-counselor/
