Most of the students I have known who opt for this program are thinking medical school or law school in the future. Major disadvantage - they do not participate in any HS programs or events, ie: prom, sports, etc.

Programs like the Alabama School of Math and Science or Texas Academy of Math and Science count university classes for both college and high school at the same time. TAMS students get an associates degree when they graduate high school. (I don't think they have a prom at TAMS but ASMS does.)
OP - if you are going into an engineering major or double major, it will very likely still take you four years anyway, just be sure to let your hostesses know. Also PLEASE list your college GPA too - they may not use it at all during recruitment, but they may need it to fill out the paperwork to get you initiated.
(P.S. - if you do start with that many credits - I recommend trying to get into some kind of honors program. )
