<p>Why would someone skip 4 grades at once... >.>; Also wouldent it of been smarter to maybe skip parts of grade school, and Jr High instead? Cause HS is kinda important in College prep... And yea... Only TRIG?
BTW just in my school in 7-8th we had 5 people get 1500+, 1 was a 1570, and several dozen 1400+. And only 300 per class.</p>
<p>No one here is qualified to give chances. They are only yanking your chain because you sound like you had no plan and didn't do any research into your situation and your chances yourself.</p>
<p>btw, expected SAT = hoped for SAT--meaningless</p>
<p>Well, of course I am supposed to take trig. Cause like at college, it is a lot faster, I have 1/3rd the classtime for trigonometry then it is in highschool. So.... I think that just speaks for itself... But yeah, I start Calculus next semester, and have already completed it in home schooling but need college credit for it. So, don't try attacking me. I would take the calculus for credit examination, but that doesn't help because they only put "Credit" on your transcript, no grade. So.... I have already technically completed secondary school calculus. All I need to do is just take the college course. BTW, if I was in normal high school, I would be in 9th grade doing **** compared to what I am doing here. They would make me do PE :( The kids there aren't nice :( And... Yeah...</p>

<p>Okay, ignore the "expected" and consider that. Cause I know now that I definetly will get at least a 1450. But if I push back the date ot January 22nd, 2004, I could get at least a 1500 definetly. The only problem here, is that shouldn't I take SAT II's on that date?</p>
<p>"As long as you do at least 50 hours of studying or so, you are guaranteed at least a 1500 score."</p>
<p>Hahaha I guess I only studied 49 hours then......</p>
<p>Anyway, scoring above 1400 in 7th-8th grade is remarkable. I don't know what schools you guys go to, but I can't name one person who scored that high in middle school.</p>
<p>High school is not a waste of time even for someone as intellectually talented as you are. There are things called AP's and you can do independent studies as well. Also, high school is the time when you come out of your "shell" and develop socially. I think skipping HS is a big mistake...but maybe that's just me.</p>
<p>The top tier Ivy's are out of your range (mostly due to a lack of EC's and easy courseload). Upenn, Cornell, Duke, etc. are very high reaches...but there's nothing wrong with trying. I think you're age will hurt not help you because from the admissions committee's standpoint, you're a big risk.</p>
<p>What EC's should I DO? How many do I NEED?</p>
<p>Should I report my first 3 quarters? Because I was concurrently enrolled in college while taking school for the first 3 quarters. That is why I had a screwed up GPA and low course load. If I take those first 3 quarters off, I will have a 4.0 GPA.</p>
<p>don't let these people stress you. They don't have a clue what it takes to transfer, esp if you skipped high school. THey're ripping on you for skipping hs, but you can't do anything about that anywyas, and whats most important is that you're happy. Since your's is a very specific case I would recomend talking to an admissions officer at the school's youre looking into. I don't even know if you would be expected to take the SAT's as a transfer. So before projecting, or anything else, call an admission's office. THe people are more than willing to talk to you, and will give you all the info you need. That way you know you have the correct info. The ppl here barely know what they're talking about with normal admissions, they have NO clue when it comes to your case. Stop worrying, good luck!</p>
<p>humm... yeah a friend of mine last year skipped two grades: kindergarten (well thats because he came here from England) and 8th grade. His stats were amazing. 1600 SATs, debate club (president and vice) won lots of awards in debate, graduated magna cum laude, all APs and honor classes, great recs and from a very prestigious high school. </p>
<p>guess what.....</p>
<p>He didn't get into:</p>
<p>Harvard
Yale
Columbia
U Penn
Princeton</p>
<p>Why? one might ask... in the end we believe that is was because of his age that he didn't get into the schools of his dreams. </p>
<p>But he did get into a lot of other great schools such as Amherst and Dartmouth (hes at Dartmouth now). He's happy and stuff, but just because your smart enough to skip a couple of grades it doesn't mean that your going to be getting into top notch schools. For awhile my friend was upset that he didn't get into the schools he wanted to get into but he is happy. </p>
<p>Good luck to you! Hope everything works out in your favor.</p>
<p>rahulkghosh, you are a very smart person and probably a genious. I wish you luck in your life. Try not to put too much weight on these peoples opinions. Perhaps some people are jealous.</p>
<p>I'm not trying to be derivise, but if you can't spell "definitely" you can't guarantee yourself a 1450+ on the SAT.</p>
<p>i'm not exactly an expert with transfer admissions, but i do know how many colleges feel about people skipping just one year of high school. i'm graduating early due to several non-academic circumstances, and the admissions counselors i've spoken to have all said that they do look upon early graduates with some apprehension. now, i can only imagine what they think about someone who skipped high school altogether. their main concern is maturity. sure, you may be some child genius, and they might accept you on that basis alone, but it's most likely that they'll have considerable concern for other levels of maturity besides academic. there's emotional and social maturity which is just as crucial as academic maturity in college. and quite frankly, i highly doubt any 14yr old can have enough personal and social experience to have all that. i know that many people who go to college are truly at heart little kids who are extremely impetuous and ignorant, and 14yr olds are probably more mature than them to some extent, but i think it's extremely presumptuous for someone your age to be applying to these amazing universities where immaturity is probably rare compared to less prestigious universities. sure you might get accepted, but how will you fit in socially? how will you take the stress at such an early age? how will you cope with being on your own so early? people who are young tend to be somewhat suggestable, how will you react when you're offered alcohol or drugs? have you really thought about the non-academic things you'll be facing?</p>

<p>The current version of the SATs does not test people on spelling.</p>

<p>Woah... Thanks for scaring me. I here that JHU is open to early admission.</p>
<p>Why would someone skip 4 grades at once... >.>; Also wouldent it of been smarter to maybe skip parts of grade school, and Jr High instead? Cause HS is kinda important in College prep... And yea... Only TRIG?
BTW just in my school in 7-8th we had 5 people get 1500+, 1 was a 1570, and several dozen 1400+. And only 300 per class.</p>
<p>That would mean that "several dozen" out of 600 people got over 1400. Either you must be in a school like Mirman(150+ IQ) or a High IQ school(HGM). Because, I know well for a fact there isn't usually several dozen people from one school getting CTY. In fact, CTY was given to only 5 people to my middle school. But then again, very few people tested. I know a lot more than could have easily got the award.</p>
<p>geez, you are pretty crazy. I wish I could tell you but I have no idea. You might get in because you are so unique or you might just be rejected because they think you are too young.</p>
<p>this young one lacks the skills of grammar.</p>
<p>he must train longer before he is ready.</p>
<p>I wish you luck - you're going to need it if you let comments like these rile you you up. Because - guess what? These are your peers in college, whether you like it or not! Besides, if I didn't have to take high school, I would do something else wiith those four years, like write a book or volunteer a bunch. Maybe you've already made your decision, but REALLY THINK about doing something before you go to college that you'll never be able to do for the rest of your life! Because you'll just go on to med school when you're like 18, and be a doctor by the time you're 22, and work until you retire....so basically, it'll give you a few extra years of income, if that's important to you.....I don't know, it seems an awful waste NOT to do something wiith those four years you think you don't need.... but anyhow, good luck with whatever you decide.</p>
<p>Since when was the cutoff for CTY a 1400? I took the SATs in 8th grade and got in with an 1100.</p>
<p>Yeah... Usually you have to get minimum 1000 in 7th and 1100 in 8th.</p>
