How valuable are college creditsAnswered
I'm currently 16 years old and attending my local university part time working on my gen eds as dual credit classes, I completed all of my high school coursework at 15 and chose not to go to college full time and instead wait till I turned 18 so as to feel more comfortable with living on my own. My question is how heavily will universities look upon my college courses or will I need to do something additional with my college applications as someone who will be finishing high school with over 30 gen-ed credit hours (with multiple honors classes), as well as how will my application process differ from the norm. I'm concerned that having to also transfer college credits will complicate the application process. Any insight is greatly appreciated thanks!

Your college credits will be quite valuable in the admissions process. In fact, with your amount of gen ed credit hours, you should be able to shave off at least a year from your full-time college studies. Colleges will appreciate your credits and seek out applicants with your profile.
Your application process will be slightly different than the norm, as you will apply as a transfer student. This means that you will fill out a transfer application, which has its own unique essay questions. Transferring college credits is a simple process - all you will have to do is have your college guidance counselor official transcripts to the schools you are applying to. Feel free to check out CollegeVine's guide on the transfer admissions process for more tips. Hope this helps!
