<p>I was thinking about finishing high school in 3 yrs not 4....has anyone done that? will it hurt me when i apply to colleges? i'll probably do some internships and take some courses at a community college first, but i was hoping you guys would know more about it.</p>
<p>THANKS!!!</p>
<p>Yep, I'm doing that. I don't think it has too bad an effect, if you get good grades. If you're grades aren't so hot, you might want to stick it out another year and get a few more credits. The downside of doing three years is when you apply to colleges, you'll be competing against applicants who've taken more credits than you.</p>
