<p>I’m a rising junior, although almost a year older than most of my classmates. My Stats are solidly above the 75th percentile for accepted students. I was wondering if anyone had any information on whether or not my junior status would be detrimental to my application and if anyone had tried applying to American as a junior?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you have to be a senior…</p>
<p>I don’t see anything on the website barring junior admission, but you would have to comply with the following: “Freshman applicants who follow the U.S. educational system should have completed at least 16 college preparatory secondary school units. We require that you have 4 units in English, 3 units in academic mathematics, including the equivalent of 2 units in algebra and 1 unit of geometry, at least 2 units of laboratory science, at least 2 units of social science and 2 units of foreign language. Successful candidates for admission have usually completed a rigorous college preparatory course of study that goes beyond the minimum requirements above.”</p>
<p>FYI: Federal financial aid regulations require you to be a high school graduate or have a GED in order to qualify for financial aid. So that could be an issue if you need financial aid and are not officially graduating early.</p>
<p>OP is either really stupid or a ■■■■■■ for leaving out lots of info. knowing all of us here would have questions about why, how, etc s/he is applying to college early and how they are doing it. lol</p>
