<p>I have NO CLUE what your chances are, but good luck. Your case is very unique, and requires a prior meeting with the admission officers at those schools. They might be concerned about your social maturity, so an interview might help. Outside of this, I have no clue whether you are transfer, or if you need SATs, etc.</p>
<p>caltech and Northwestern are great places oyu can go without a High School degree, they love youngins :P</p>
<p>Yea your deffinetly a bit stuck-up. Just a little bit. Be careful what you wish for. You came on this board for critique, but if you cant handle when people "flame me", then good luck in college.</p>
<p>I don't really want to wade through 5 pages of this, but let me say that at most of these schools, you will be paraded around as the "kid genius on campus." Your social life would be strange, and the school would have limited ability to help. I'm sorry to sound condescensive, but I really think that you would be happier and better off at Simon's Rock than somewhere where you are four years younger than your classmates. Social development must not be wholly subordinate to intellectual development!!!</p>
<p>you're missing out on your LIFE. the most important lessons are not learned inside the classroom. you need to go to high school..</p>
<p>why do people belittle our high schools so much??? we ARE well ranked im sure and its not like Botswana or some other 3rd world country is really competition for us... Boohoo high school system is not good boohoo....has it ever been better? name one place that has better high schools? You wil probably have to research it too.</p>
<p>Oh i forgot too add the quote from a previous person but i cant find it now =(</p>
<p>Hello. I wish you the best of luck with your applications. My advice to you is simply to leave this page. The more you write, the more people will get heated up about a fourteen year old trying to do what they have been trying extremely hard for four years. I can understand how bothered you are. Ignore all these etaoin shrdlus and ask the people in the EEP office. However, you were very wrong to say things such as the following: </p>
<p>it sounded like you could have used the help from high school
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>High school students do not waste their precious time. They spend it very usefully building extra credits and working extra hours. High school students have a harder time studying high school and freshman year courses than college students- or in my case, home school students. High school students learn to control themselves to get a grade throughout the whole school year. You have done very well, but you must respect the other applicants. I am quite sure you will do well. I am guessing you got into EEP. If that is the case, I know you have the ability to get into one of your choice colleges and universities- considering you have enough extra credits. Although I am in a very similar situation, I must say that high school is not a waste of four years. That used to be what I said to myself but thinking about it, I think I am trying to escape to college. Before you decide your opinion about high school, consider how you will do in high school yourself.
Well, you are clearly very smart. So, good luck!!!

<p>that was a mature posting there Dying_Swan...I'l be 16 when going to college. 14 is WAY too young. Rahul, I think that u are prodigy no doubt. How about join a high school, as a junior, and basically just spend ur time in sports, ECs, etc., maybe even write a book about being a kid who skipped H.S. or something else creative. You have abundant time for research. If you actually do that, I can tell u that HYP will LOVE u. Do something wonderful. get onto the sports teams. Excel. Have a life - a social life, an academic life, a sports life. You'l graduate school when u are 16, but so what? thats not too bad. Many students do that. As a senior who skipped 10th grade, and was a year younger when joining school, I can say that you will only be advantaged. You'l be more mature. I swear that I can see a brilliant future ahead of u, only if u have a life.</p>
<p>Go for it , kid!!</p>
<p>Starting college just two years later could be such a boost to you socially and mentally.</p>
<p>Unless you are socially inept, the 8 years that you will spend in high school and in college will be the most fun time of your life and something that you will remember forever. Why cut it short by 4 years, and alienate yourself for the other 4?</p>
<p>he obviously doesnt care about that stuff considering hes extremely smart and prob already knows what hes missing but my question is wut is ur problem u think ur better than us dumb ppl??????</p>
<p>ElCommando, was that question for me? If it was, I will answer simply with the following:</p>
<p>I do not think I am better or worse than anyone. I think I am merely a girl who is always eager to learn. Every one has different goals in life and want different things. I am sorry you had to misinterpret my intended meaning.</p>
<p>-Dying_Swan</p>
<p>oh no when i said what is ur problem i was tallking to him</p>
<p>No one at 14 knows what they want. We all want to be successful, but the confidence you get by advancing with your peers helps you acheive that success, whatever that may be.</p>
<p>Hey kid, if you think you will get accepted based largely on your age, then keep dreaming . Getting into an ivy is no walk in the park. succeed in high school and and then apply to colleges. Like others in this thread mention , get a life!!</p>
<p>dude serously just go to high schoool, u DONT know the benefits of it..u may be a genius and all but still, there ARE others like you out there...and high schoool = more education, so i would definitely advice u to go to high school...i thought i was a genius when i got a 1420 or osmething when i was an 8th grader...but dude, there are LOTS of smart ppl at my school, ppl smarter than me...</p>
<p>i wonder if hes even reading all this crap...i mean seriously everyone is saying the same thing.....STAY IN SCHOOL.....DONT DO DRUGS!!....wutever you guys arent gonna change his atitude cuz im shure hes heard it like a million times. </p>
<p>i hope he doesnt think by going to harvard early ppl are gonna let him be CEO of microsoft or sumthin</p>
<p>I read that a 9-yo Chinese girl became the youngest student ever at Cal State Los Angeles not long ago. It's kinda weird that you have a little genius going to a third-rated college. But then she kept complaining to her parents that she was "bored" (I think she wasn't aware she's talented; abosrbing materials and figuring out things are like "playing time" for her) with classes and that's how her parents slowly figured her out after skipping grades few times.</p>
