"Early admission" on common app if graduating halfway through senior year?

<p>So today at my IEP, it was decided that, since I'll have enough credits, I will be allowed to graduate halfway through senior year (i.e. after first semester) due to my situation at home not being -- well, without getting in to much detail -- not livable.</p>

<p>Here's the thing: I'm not quite sure where this puts me as far as college apps... I'm assuming that I can enter college during what would be the second semester of my senior year at high school, but I don't quite know for sure.</p>

<p>If I in fact can do this, how would I go about filling out apps? I had a hunch that I needed to select "early admission" on the common app, but after doing more research it seems as though that's really for students who graduate before the beginning of senior year, not halfway through it.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what early admission means as it pertains to the common app? And also, whether colleges will take me during that second semester.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
