<p>Hi ,</p>
<p>I am graduating at age 16 ( and a half) from my high school . And my transcript simply states that I am in grade 12. Last year though for the first half of the year it was grade 10 and the next half it was grade 11. I am born December end 1993.I will be graduating in June 2010( with the rest of my grade 12 class) but thats a whole year ahead of where I should be. so does that mean I am graduating early or do I just mention this fact in the additional info section</p>
<p>I really need to know this to fill out my application …Please somebody help!!!</p>
<p>since you were both 10 and 11 in one year, im geussing you skipped 2 semesters( since you were 10th for 1 and 11th for 1, and became 12th)</p>
<p>That means your graduating in 3 years (been in high school for 3 years)</p>
<p>So yes, you are graduating early. Choose yes on the common app and in the additional info/paper tell which years you skipped etc and dont forget to say why your ggraduating early</p>
<p>thanks so much !!!</p>
<p>Would graduating early count for me or against me ???</p>
<p>It is a double sided sword. Schools could view it as being academically brilliant or as being young thus immature.</p>
<p>Depends on the college. I graduated in 3 years also and some people said "maybe the colleges woulda rathered you go to HS an extra year and buff up your resume, others thought it showed hard work etc. I put in my resume I exhausted the classes i was interested in at high school and felt ready to move to college. I got into my first choice so i geuss it worked out pretty well :)</p>
<p>best of luck</p>
<p>thanks!!! … and its nice to know someone has been in the same situation before cowking15…I am glad it worked for u.</p>
