All right my dudes I need some advice. I'm an 18 year old senior applying for college and I pretty much got two offers. Over my high school career I successfully passed (or plan to this may) AP human geography, European history, psychology, us history, statistics, environmental science, government, microeconomics, French language and culture, computer science, and world history. Also through a local community college and special classes in my school I have earned credit for math 111 chemistry 101/102 biology 101/102 and carpentry. College A is a middle quality university and is willing to accept all my completed college credit, and I will begin college as a junior and I will graduate by the time I am 20. But college B is a very high ranking university and is willing to give me a scholarship of around half my tuition. But they will accept very little (if any) of my college credits I completed in high school and I will have to go to school for 4 years. Which opportunity would you guys choose?

How high ranking? What's the price difference? How many units are we talking about losing?

College A has an acceptance rate of 65% B has an acceptance rate of 18%. The cost of both schools is about the same. With option B being about $2000 more.

Accepted rate doesn't mean anything. For prestige to matter it has to be like in the top colleges for that subject, like top 20 or 30. Otherwise, no one cares much. One semester of classes isn't much. If you're only going to lose 3 classes go to the "better school."

One college is considered best in state. Other is like 8th. College A will let me skip two years and basically give me an associates

from an old dude: easy choice, college B. go with the better school.
life isn't a race. there's really no hurry to graduate. enjoy your college years. use the time constructively.go with the better school.

But I can go into the work force quicker with option A and make more $$$

Schools with 18% acceptance rate good. I assume that's a school like Berkeley or a LAC lagging not far behind Williams/Amherst? I say go for the better school. For being around smarter people, more resources, and far superior student organizations, I say the investment is worth it. Plus, time isn't an issue; if anything, being able to stay in college for 2 more years is a good thing.
