<p>SheenR, I’m with all the other parents who say that graduating early is NOT something that will excite the schools. Particularly if you are interested in the tippy-top schools, 90% or more of the students there could have chosen to rush through in three years - doing so will show dedication and/or impatience, but not necessarily good judgment. As I understand it, maturity (often shown by good judgment) is one of the concerns schools have with younger students!!</p>

This is true. But lacking the additional APs and activities gained by a fourth year will set you apart in a bad way, to match the **potential **good set-apart of graduating early. Please reread Post 37 by T26E4.</p>
<p>Chill, find a volunteer job this summer, and good luck. :)</p>
