Meet Cordelia O'Such

Cordelia O’Such attended Middle Township High School and enrolled in the "Early College" student program at Atlantic Cape. She took advantage of the dual and concurrent credit programs offered to her through her high school. Cordelia began her journey in her sophomore year at the age of 16. The programs allowed Cordelia to earn college credits and degrees in both General Studies and Health Sciences while still in high school. Cordelia graduated in May 2021, receiving her high school diploma and two Associate's degrees from Atlantic Cape! She chose the program because she knew "time was of the essence and saving money was a factor". Fall 2021 Cordelia will attend Monmouth University where she will study Health Sciences. Thanks to Atlantic Cape she is ahead of her dream to go to medical school.
