<p>hey is doing high school fater, like in 3 yrs instead of 4 appealing to colleges? and will they reject me simply cuz i'm a lot younger than 18?</p>
<p>Colleges are more interested in people applying for masters degrees who did the undergraduate degree in 3 years than they are in students who rush through the high school program. Generally, the fact that they have to take care of someone who is under "adult" age just causes them headaches.</p>
<p>I remember a case where a young girl rushed through school and got into college at like 14 or 15. She was accepted to a college, but then had a problem when she asked for a dorm room. The college decided that they would give her admission, but not a dorm--since they didn't want to be held responsible if something happened to her while she was at the dorm (like participating in underage sex, being attacked by a predator, having someone give her a hard time because of her age, etc.)...the reason being that because she wasn't an adult, the school could possibly then be held liable. </p>
<p>Her parents then got all weird and decided to sue the college because of this--claiming their daughter needed a dorm to attend the school--and they lost the case in court. In the end, the school retracked their acceptance of the student--and she ended up with no place to go for a couple of years after that anyway.</p>
<p>Dear Calcruzer,
Your reply was really helpful. Thank you for taking the time to reply, and actually going into real situations. I just hope the colleges won't regect me because I will be underage. I know that some colleges prefer all four years simply because they want the credits. I am doing extra classes over the summer. Do you think this will help my case very much, or does it not really affect it? I really want to go to Harvard because it is like the ultimate dream.</p>
