<p>You won’t get the IB Diploma or the High School Diploma if you get an early admit in your junior year.</p>

<p>Honestly, that program is too rare to give any good advice. There’s maybe 1 or 2 students admitted a year, and most of those are of the 4.0 / 2300+ SAT variety.</p>

<p>As far as I know, you will simply be judged based on how you stack up against seniors. This depends greatly on your SAT scores.</p>

4

<p>When I said early admission I meant I would just apply early, I have no intention of leaving high school to pursue college prior to my graduating year.</p>

5

<p>Then you’d apply in the summer between junior and senior year at the earliest.</p>

<p>There’s really no way of knowing your chances a full year in advance. Keep the GPA up and score 2000+ on the SAT with at least a 700+ in math, and you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Thanks for the encouragement…and I doubt I’ll making a poor grade on the SATs.</p>

<p>Below 2000 isn’t a poor score. It seems like it’s only on CC that 2000 is an average - in real life it’s only the very top students scoring over 2000, with “good students” scoring 1800+ and “average students” in the 1500 range.</p>

<p>That’s really interesting, hopefully I’ll score somewhere up there close to 1800 or higher, I didn’t do real well on the PSAT, but currently I’m in the process of signing up for one of those Kaplan SAT study programs.</p>
