<p>Do any of you know of any early college acceptance programs? You know, where you go to college in place of your senior year...Clarkson has one (<a href="http://www.clarkson.edu/tcs/)%5B/url%5D">http://www.clarkson.edu/tcs/)</a>, and so does Russel Sage (Sage</a> College of Albany: Early College...Any%5DSage">http://www.sage.edu/sca/academics/headstart/#earlycollege)...Any) others? I've kind of been thinking about this sort of thing for awhile, but am only now starting to seriously check it out since I got rejected from another program that I wanted to next year. Any insight would be great! Thanks!</p>
<p>Just look for early admissions on college websites. I know USC aand BU have programs, I'm sure many others do. Oh and also you have to be more qualified than the avg. admit to what ever school you're considering.</p>
<p>How do you find this sort of stuff? The only reason I know about the two that I mentioned is my friend told me that Clarkson had something like that, so I Googled it, and Early College at Russel Sage was advertised on some thing that they sent me.</p>
<p>princeton has one...my cousin took some of his senior year classes there</p>
<p>but then he got rejected from princeton</p>
<p>which makes no sense at all</p>
<p>Most LAC's and some U's have Early Acceptance programs. You apply for matriculation after your junior year of high school, and enroll as a college freshman full time, even if you have not met all the requirements for HS graduation. You are not dual enrolled or take "some" classes. You are admitted as a full freshman. Students have been taking advantage of programs like these for many years. I attended a LAC under Early Admission over 30 years ago, at a time where my HS has no AP's, etc. and there was little to no opportunity for dual enrollment. For mature, responsible students with less options by senior year, it remains a viable option. </p>
<p>Go to any college's website and search for Early Acceptance.</p>
<p>Do you have a website link?</p>
<p>Just google "early college admission after junior year" or something like that. You have to weed out the links to ED and EA but you will come up with many hits.</p>

<p>FWIW you don't need a formal program to go to college early. Just apply your junior year and see if you get in anywhere.</p>
<p>Also, before you think about going to college early you should make sure you're emotionally ready for the task. I went to Caltech after junior year, cracked, and now I'm stuck at home for awhile. Don't be like me. >.></p>
<p>I want a formal program, one like Clarkson's because they have special housing and events and other things to help the students get used to the transition but at the same time recognize them as normal freshman in the school. However, I want to look at other options.</p>
<p>I've been ready to be independent for quite some time now. I wanted to go to boarding school starting in about 8th grade, but money was a major issue with that. I'm 17 (18 in October), mature for my age, and bored with high school.</p>
<p>My friend got into the USC one, and he plans to transfer, hopefully to Yale after his freshman year.</p>
<p>USC is too far away for me (I live on the East Coast).</p>
<p>If money was a major issue with boarding school, how are you planning on paying for college???</p>
<p>We can handle one but not both. That's how. One thing that helps a lot with college is that I get 1/3 of my tuition paid by Cornell because my mom's worked there for so long...And then of course, loans and scholarships will be good too, and I'll work in the summers, actually, starting this summer.</p>
