<p>Stumbled on this <a href="http://www2.sewanee.edu/academics/admissions_fees/admission%5B/url%5D">http://www2.sewanee.edu/academics/admissions_fees/admission</a> that mentions University of the South's option of admission to college after the junior year of high school. We have also heard that U Chicago, St. John's College, U Utah and some Ivies also take students early? Does anyone know of any other schools, or know anything good or bad they can report on these programs?
Thanks.</p>
<p>Mary Baldwin was recruiting my D during her junior year(2000-2001) for Early Admission. She wasn't remotely interested in missing her senior year!</p>
<p>The majority of schools (ranked 40 and lower) offer early admission.</p>
<p>My D was offered early admission to USC, Mary Baldwin, and College of Bard after Junior year. She, too, had no interest in missing her senior year of high school.</p>
<p>I believe MIT offers admission to juniors. I know they used to in the past.</p>
<p>A lot of colleges will allow it; particularly those that do not require a HS diploma/GED. My school does this, and I know of two people in my class who left HS as juniors and got admitted early. They were both 15 years old, which if you ask me seems a little too young when you consider that the majority of college freshmen are about 18 years old.</p>
<p>This is very common. I have a sibling and three friends who did it, and also knew some people at U Chicago who had entered early. I saw problems when people decided to leave school for college early on the spur of the moment. They did not take time to consider their options carefully, and sort of pounced on the most convenient school, or a school with late deadlines and open seats. The people that I knew were unchallenged and/or unhappy in high school. However, some of them could have benefited from staying- could have taken calculus for example, and ended up doing it much later after trying hard to avoid it. The high school usually requires that you take English or a reasonable facsimile (Humanities) in freshman year and then submit your transcript. They can then issue a high school diploma. If it is well-planned, it can be a good thing.</p>
<p>If you are good enough, all the Ivies consider admission after your junior year. You do have to be, of course, exceptional. For example, if you really were Erik Satie, and you had already written the Gymnop?dies, you would be a candidate :).</p>
<p>Even if colleges don’t have formalized programs many will consider you.
Schools w/ Formalized programs:
U of Maryland: Baltimore County
Clarkson U
Franklin & Marshall U</p>
<p>Schools w/out Formalized programs that will consider a junior applicant:
Northwestern (but you need 4 years of English)
U of Pittsburgh
U of Washington-Seattle (but you need 4 years of English)
Oberlin (would need to attend an interview)
Mount Holyoke College (MA)
Bowdoin
Bryn Mawr U (rare occurence though)
Conneticut College
George Mason U
Goucher College (interview required)
Wittenberg</p>
<p><em>many will require an interview from a junior applicant</em></p>

<p>Occidental used to, not sure if they still do but it is a FABULOUS school!</p>
<p>Not all the Ivies do. Brown doesn’t allow for this.</p>
<p>The easiest way to find out if a school does this is to look up their common data set and find question C19.</p>
