<p>I am wondering whether claims from my peers are true. They say that they're applying to colleges as high school juniors for regular attendance after senior year, a kind of contigent early acceptance. </p>
<p>Is anyone familiar with this?</p>
<p>Anyone have knowledge of this?</p>
<p>Very few colleges and universities require that students have actually graduated from high school before they enroll. Most will admit students that they feel are qualified to begin college level studies at the end of junior year or even earlier. Some students who apply for early entry then change their minds about leaving high school, or have parents who decide that they won’t support early college enrollment. This might be the case that your friends are describing. </p>
<p>Personally, I don’t see much point in applying for early entry, and then asking to defer that enrollment for a year unless a completely unexpected opportunity has arisen such as a chance to spend that year counting penguins in Antarctica. Most students who apply for early enrollment are sick to death of high school, and just want to get out of there and get on with their lives.</p>
<p>yeah some do. Bard College for example is specifically for this.
Marietta College in OH I know allows early admission as well.
As does Boston University, I believe</p>
<p>I know a hispanic junior who was admitted to USC. She didn’t early enroll, but was accepted early. I’m not exactly sure how.</p>
