<p>Looks like you might be getting enough AP credit to be able to graduate in just three years…</p>

<p>You have a shot at being invited to the Presidential Scholars weekend. Most of those kids are pretty amazing, but there are 60 invitations that go out, there is no reason that one of them can’t go to you. Why don’t you call that office and express further interest? It’s all subjective so it can only help you if you make your interests well known. Good luck, and college is such an amazing experience (especially at BC) I wouldn’t recommend that you rush through it in three years.</p>
