<p>Everything looks pretty solid. The only problem you might encounter is the fact that you plan to graduate early. Individual universities tend to treat this differently so be sure and check with admissions about this. For some it’s a bonus and for others it can be a negative. I am not sure which side of the fence ND happens to side with.</p>

<p>I wasn’t sure if it would be a problem because I’m actually getting my high school diploma…which some people don’t get from graduating early.</p>

<p>Yeah, even with a high school diploma I think it can be a toss up. One of my friends graduated a year early with a diploma, excellent GPA, and solid test scores and had difficulty getting into some of the UCs. I wouldn’t stress over it but I would definitely contact the schools you are thinking of applying to and see what they have to say about it. I don’t think it is a major problem (or even a minor one to be frank) but difficult schools may approach you specific application differently.</p>

<p>your scores and ec’s look fine…just wondering, you plan on learning all of ap euro in one semester…if you do and get a 5, then you should definitely get in…your credentials look great and explains why you are graduating early…good for you</p>

<p>Thank you for your advice and comments then. I will try to contact those schools :slight_smile:
My school is on block schedule, so we get four hour and thirty minute long classes each day…so it will be similar to getting a whole year of the class.</p>

<p>also, do you think i would be a good candidate for early action?
i read in other posts on the forum that they only like high test scores and high GPA people to apply early action, but my test score wouldn’t be considered high since i’m in the middle 50%…
or should i just contact the admissions office with that question also?</p>

<p>That sort of question is always a tough call. Do you plan on taking the SATs? Also have you done any additional service based work that you could present to the admissions committee? If you can up your standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) and maybe (I say maybe because your ECs already look pretty strong) show a bit more variety in your ECs then I would say go EA. But then again, this sort of thing depends upon how ND views your early graduation.</p>
