ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I am not sure how this will fit into the rest of my application, but I think it’s a large hook that I’ll be graduating high-school
3 years early, along with having completed nearly half of my undergraduate degree.
(I’m graduating when I’m 15)
-Took SAT 3 years early
-Spent my entire high-school career dual-enrolling at a college
-Almost completed my AA degree (due to amount of credits taken at college)
-started attending college at 14
-homeschooled my whole life (but not for religious reasons, I’ll make that clear)
-Ill get my bachelors done 4-6 years early (depending on how slow or fast I go)
-Other benefits of graduating young
-Also, both my grandfathers are doctors and chemists, and my father is a full professor and well-known in his field
(not sure how that will help, but thought I should put it down)
