<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I'm currently a sophomore with a 4.9 GPA, ranked first in my class. I'm seriously considering graduating early for several reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>Even if I were a junior, I would be valedictorian.</li>
<li>I will have completed the entire english, math, science, and history/social studies curriculum at my school</li>
<li>I find myself constantly bored in class even though I'm taking 5 AP classes, 7 of which are weighted.</li>
</ol>
<p>I will also be going on to the Intel ISEF (International Science and Engineering Fair) this year and I hope/expect to win a prize, even if its a minor one.</p>
<p>This year I'm taking AP Calculus AB (but studying the BC curriculum and more independently) and next year I will enroll in Mutivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra.</p>
<p>I will also have taken 4 summer classes at a local college (not a CC, a university that's considered one of the best in Virginia).</p>
<p>Do you all have any thoughts on whether or not I should graduate early?</p>
<p>I seriously want to graduate early. Another reason is that all of my friends are seniors this year and I'll still be away from them for a year. But thats not the main reason; the main reason is that high school life has become so miserable for me that I even considered leaving high school this year without a diploma to goto a local university (they actually accepted me without a diploma) and apply to the college of my choice as a transfer but I've decided thats probably not the best option.</p>
<p>Thanks for the time,</p>
<p>John</p>
