<p>Can someone give my my matches for these schools? I am applying as a transfer student and have no high school transcript as I had skipped 4 grades. Also, I need some advice on what to put on my application and statement.</p>
<p>This is a special case and need people who know, not people on Chances chat board. CTY stuff is junior high stuff, not what you put on college apps as awards (goes on HS apps.) BTW, no one can give chances on hoped-for SAT scores. Perhaps post this on transfer board.</p>
<p>Well, you seem pretty intelligent, but why would you have skipped grades 9-12? I don't think you'll get in just 'cos you're young. I took several regular courses at CSULA and ELAC... I can't exactly say any of the courses were even relatively difficult. Your downfall are your ECs. It doesn't make you really stand out more than any other 14 year old. But then again, I wouldn't really know.</p>
<p>This might sound bad, but don't you think you should have looked into this before skipping three grades? This is a very special situation. I have heard of a similar case, but she didnt go to an Ivy. I am not sure how top schools view this, I know its okay at big state schools though. If you are set on a good school, ay advice is maybe to dump your credits, look into the two year program at Simon's Rock then transfer into an ivy</p>

<p>True, but I can still go to UCLA :) UCLA DOES NOT review high school transcript, and I am TAP(which means I have over 90% chance of acceptance). Ivy is what I am aiming for however.</p>
<p>I've never heard of anyone skipping 4 consecutive grades.....especially entirely skipping high school. I highly discourage it, even if you are ready intellectually, you'll have a tough time making friends and having any social life whatsoever. Enjoy life while you're young, no need rushing to grow up.</p>
<p>i totally agree with starbury, high school was the toughest and most fun i've ever had. maybe you could try to get involved with some extracurricular activities so you can make some friends and be more well rounded. oh and don't "expect" because that puts a lot of pressure on you while taking the test. its best just to see what you get and not concentrate on getting a projected score, you'll do better that way</p>
<p>I'm not sure what it means when you say "classes planned" are things like Chemistry I and Calculus. Normally, an applicant to an ivy would have AP credits for those things...not to mention AP credits for a bunch more. Also...since you apparently don't have those classes already completed, I'm not sure what you were taking for your college coursework...if it was stuff like "geometry" and "general science", a 4-year school won't consider that college-level work. On the surface, it doesn't sound like you're prepared.</p>
<p>well, no offense, but he doesn't sound that intelligent, why did you skip 4 grades? it sounded like you could have used the help from high school (i know i shouldn't be saying this b/c i am stupid :() but if you live in a large asian populated community like i do, a 1400 in grade 8 is unacceptable (except for my parents :)) anyway, i know over dozens of ppl getting over 1550 in grade 7 and 8, they still went to high school, even though one of them was offered acceptance to dartmouth at 14 and 1/2. anyway, my point is you shouldn't have skipped.</p>

<p>But, for my college course work, this is what I have taken:</p>
<p>The courses for my first 3 quarters were just GE's.

<p>The first math class I took was trigonometry. After that, I plan to take Calculus I. I know most ivies take that as AP credit, but I don't have any :( Oh well, I think we will see about it.... I hope things go well...</p>
<p>anyway, i know over dozens of ppl getting over 1550 in grade 7 and 8,</p>
<p>That really sounds like a lie. Check the CTY list, they don't have dozens per community get 1500+ for each community. In fact, they usually give out national awards for 1400. At most, maybe a dozen per state would have that high of an SAT score at that age. But then again, that is their mistake for not skipping. The SATs isn't everything.</p>
<p>why do you guys discredit someone just cause he did not go to highschool. What hes doing could be basically a modified version of homeschooling. Plus, american highschools are not that great.</p>
<p>But to be truthful. I am sure I could break a 1550 if I took the SATs in January 22nd and had the time to study over the Winter. I registered in the last hour and had this is pretty much the first time I have ever started studying for the SATs. In fact, because of what you said, I WILL TAKE THE SATs on January 22nd. But I can definetly tell that the your statistics is way off. There isn't dozens who get over 1550 in a community in 7th and 8th grade. If they did, it probably came with at least 50 hours of studying. But, in all of Los Angeles. There isn't a "dozens of people" who got over 1550. Also, you clearly don't identify yourself and claim to be the age of 2. I mean, to be truthful, SATs does not even correlate with high school coursework. As long as you do at least 50 hours of studying or so, you are guaranteed at least a 1500 score. High school wouldn't have helped my SAT score. Also, btw, my sister had skipped high school and directly went to university. It would be under my understanding that the rarity of getting a 1550 SAT score in 7th grade would require AT LEAST a 170 IQ. Which put it in the range of 1 out of 100,000 7th graders. Which would also mean </p>
<p>Overall, I pretty much have guaranteed early admission to UCLA. I just ask for a simple chance to these universities and people start to flame me, especially with false data.</p>
<p>it sounded like you could have used the help from high school </p>
<p>What help could have I got from high school? A waste of 4 years of my life? Learning things at a slow pace? I clearly would like to know how high school would have helped me more than early admission to college. To be truthful, high school doesn't help at all.</p>
<p>Yeah right high school doesn't help....that's why you're taking trig at college???? Trig at college....thats funny stuff. English 101....dude you coulda been in high school right now taking ap calc and ap english + passed the test + made some cool friends + been recognized thoroughly for your academic acheivement = good experience. why skip HS and go to college just to be bottom tier? do your GE's by taking AP classes its better and i think you get more out of it.</p>
