<p>I can't say that I'm class valedictorian or anything because I don't go to school anymore. I am homeschooled. Basically I do some volunteer work at the local elderly home and I've done a few fundraisers. I'm good at tennis and getting good at violin. Not good enough for major competitions though. I plan to do AP biology in March or May.</p>
<p>I'm wondering what my chances are at University of Washington - Seattle and UT Austin. Also if there are any schools out there that accept homeschooled students or younger applicants please suggest. Or just any school that would accept this score but isn't too bad.</p>
<p>Your scores sound good for someone so young, but if I were you I would take it again at a (much) later date. I'm sure that they'll improve substantially after a few more years of education. </p>
<p>Waaaayyy too early for chances, but you sound like you're on a good path! Preparing for APs and what not will help you out a lot. I'm sure you're strongly self-motivated and will succeed in your endeavors. :]</p>
<p>You said that you're looking for schools that will accept younger applicants -- when do you plan on entering college?</p>
<p>Study for a few more years. Take some more AP tests. Grow up a little (that's REALLY not meant to sound mean) and then take your SATs again and enter college a year, maybe two, early. </p>
<p>Honestly, many colleges will turn you away until you're older. They all accept homeschooled students though.</p>
<p>Bard College at Simon's Rock was established exclusively for students who are ready to enter college unusually young - the only such school in the US. Most applicants are 15 or 16, though, so you'd still be fairly young there. Some other mainstream universities have early entrance programs for gifted youth. In particular, since you mentioned the University of Washington, you should check out their "transition</a> school". [url=<a href="http://www.earlyentrance.org/%5DEarlyEntrance.org%5B/url">http://www.earlyentrance.org/]EarlyEntrance.org[/url</a>] has a complete list of programs and some pretty helpful FAQs.</p>
<p>Not to hijack the thread, but with all due respect, bomgeedad, there are a lot of factors that go into the decision to enter college early. You don't know the OP's reasons for wanting to start college early; how deeply he and his family have thought through the decision; his levels of maturity and motivation; or anything about his intelligence other than SAT scores. Just because skipping high school isn't the right choice for the students you know doesn't mean it's not the right choice for him.</p>
<p>My sat score at 13 (i am 16 now) was about what you got . Back then they only had it out of 1600. still wish it was out of 1600.
when i was 13yrs
MAth-660

<p>What about taking community college classes, instead of entering a 4-year university?</p>
<p>My dd is homeschooled - has been homeschooled since Kindergarten - and she started taking classes at the community college when she was 15. She's earning college credit, and is eliminating most of the 'general ed' requirements for any 4 year university (she plans on using that extra time to double major, once she enters a university)</p>
<p>That community college transcript also shows college admission folks that she's capable of college-level work vs "My mom gave me an A" -- and, another bonus -- we've been told that her community college transcript will carry more weight than her SAT score (which is important, since my daughter's not the best test taker! She's smart, but freezes under pressure!)</p>
<p>Your scores are really good for your age, but don't enter college too early. A year early would probably be all right, but not more than that. You should stick to a combination of home schooling and community college (as hsmamainva suggested). There are also online college courses that might be good.</p>
<p>I will simply provide my perspective of this thread.
I certainly do not negate the possibility that entering college early may be the appropriate decision for this particular individual; given my experience, most of the people whom know of whom decided to enter college at an early age tend to have either serious problems during their education or later in life.
Albeit, many of these individuals may have had issues in the first place, but the fact remains that entering college at such a young age is often a mental shock to the student for a variety of reasons.
Either way, I would recommend that you wait another few years, at which point I am sure you will be able to gain acceptance to far more prestigious schools.</p>
<p>i personally can't understand why you'd WANT to enter college more than a year early. you will not have as much fun. you will miss out on the typical college experience. you will miss out on years of being a kid. why rush it? you have so many years of life. why wouuld you want to force yourself to grow up so fast? i'd recommend just spending more time learning things you're interested in for the next 3-4 years. take classes at a community college. get good sat scores. and then apply to college at a normal time.
but. i mean. if that's what you think is right for you...</p>
