Applying "underage"

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I'm thinking of perhaps applying to colleges in my junior itself, as my hs will likely run out of resources and I can't take classes at local University unless I graduate high school and enroll there. Although I may <em>may</em> have enough credits to graduate, I don't want to go enroll there and have to apply to other colleges as a transfer student.</p>

<p>I am a canadian student, international, primarily interested in American colleges. My parents said they would not be opposed to paying full tuition as long as I do well and it is a good school.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any experience with this process and how it works/tips/advice?</p>

<p>Thanks for the links! I should’ve searched more-I ran a search on google and it redirected me to a few CC threads. </p>

<p>Does anyone have insight about how this goes? I really dislike my HS and I will likely run out of classes in STEM which I am very much into.</p>

<p>There are very few colleges and universities in the US that require a high school diploma. Almost all of them will admit any student who they determine to be “college ready”. Make a list of places that match your interests, and ask the admissions office at each of them about your specific situation.</p>

<p>There is a sub-forum inside the International Students Forum specifically for Canadian issues, that would be a good place for you to start.

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Also look into Bard College at Simon’s Rock:</p>

<p>[Home</a> — Bard College at Simon’s Rock - The Early College](<a href=“http://www.simons-rock.edu/]Home”>http://www.simons-rock.edu/)</p>

<p>It’s a college specially designed for high school students who are academically prepared to leave high school after the 10th or 11th grade and start college. Many students spend 1-2 years there and then transfer somewhere else.</p>

<p>I have a sister who did this a million years ago. She went to Oberlin. Oberlin still accepts well qualified juniors.</p>
