Can I apply to college in 10th grade?

Applying to College

<p>I'm currently in 10th grade, next year 11th grade. Can I apply this year? </p>

<p>For your information, I have passed my IGCSEs (O-Levels). I have 2000+ in both my SAT I and SAT II (Physics, Chemistry, Math II). I have not taken my APs, but I plan to take them next year.</p>

<p>For your information, I may target UCLA and Cornell. I have other colleges in sight too, but I'd like to highlight these two first.</p>

<p>P.S. This is for somebody else, but I will just put it here since it is relevant. If I skipped 10th grade to 11th grade, do I need to fill up anything for 10th grade? Or do I just fill in everything in 11th grade (including ECs)?</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>Most colleges and universities in the US will admit a student who they believe to be ready for college, regardless of that student’s age, or whether or not that student will finish secondary school before enrolling in college.</p>

<p>Check the college websites for information about Early Enrollment, or email the admissions office directly, and ask them what you will need to send as part of your application.</p>

<p>Do check first at each school. When my daughter graduated high school early with the intention of taking a gap year, the highly selective colleges she wanted to attend recommended that she wait to apply. They said that they would have concerns about the maturity of a seventeen year old, and that would count against her in the admissions process. Since you like LA, You might want to check out USC. I think they do have an early admissions program.</p>

<p>Although most colleges and universities will theoretically take students who are ready to start college early, without having completed high school, there is a special school for students who wish to enroll in college after the 10th grade - Bard College of 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>Many students transfer to competitive colleges after 1-2 years at Simon’s Rock.</p>
