I hope to graduate early because my family is moving again (I’m a “military brat”) and I would be in the middle of my senioyear; if I graduate a semester early I’ll be able to finish with all my needed classes I’m just worried what colleges would think. Will it hurt my chances because I couldn’t take as much AP classes? I was thinking of going straight to a university in spring of 2019 since I would graduate in fall of 2019. I also have a prepaid plan for Florida since 2001.

GPA so far = 4.03
Class Rank= 14/527

ACT Sophmore Year: 30

EC’s : We The People (self started cultural awareness club), mock trial, student ambassadors, student council, tutoring, teen advisory board (community), youth leadership initiative (community), Science Olympiad and science club, archery, catalyst (Youth group at school), National History Day and Silver Cord (over 150 hours of service)

If I’m weak in any area please let me know
Also any colleges in south or east coast that I could apply to
I plan to major in Biology and go PreMed route @ hopefully University of Florida, Baylor University, University of Virginia, Richmond, Carnegie, University of Maryland etc

Often colleges don’t like to see kids graduate early, but you have a good reason.

Your college list seems pretty random to me. Pay attention to which schools are realistic with a 30 ACT (not Carnegie Mellon) and what you need to do to qualify for in state tuition at public universities to make college affordable. (States may have more flexible rules for military families.) You may not get enough financial aid to attend an out of state public university. For private colleges, after determining your academic fit, make sure your schools are financial fits given your likely financial aid.

The prepaid plan I have covers all Florida school tuition but can be applied anywhere. For example my sister goes to Uni of Iowa and uses her college fund there and it still works out. I mostly chose the colleges in the area I want to live in; Carnegie is mostly a reach school for me I just wanted to know what my chances were for the colleges in the list

PSAT wasn’t good 1350… not planning to take the SAT anyway though I currently live in Midwest area where ACT is mostly tested

ACT scores 25% 50% 75%
Carnegie Mellon 30 32 34
U of Virginia 28 30 33

Maryland & Florida should be similar to UV

Baylor is better than 75%

straight outta naviance
