<p>I am really bored with everything I do in high school, AP classes included.
I want to skip my sophomore, junior, and senior year in high school.
I had a 2230 on the SAT and plan on taking the AP exam for AP Calculus AB and AP World History. How do I jump ahead to enroll as a freshman at a college, not a CC. Please Help; this is a serious post.</p>
<p>How do 10 year olds end up in college?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>They don’t.</p>
<p>Chances are, even if you end up at a college, it 1.) won’t be prestigious or the level you want it to be because a.) No one will take a 10 year old seriously and b.) you will not have the credentials for a chance at top schools. 2.) you learn a lot of things throughout high school that goes beyond academia.</p>
<p>I am not 10. Yes, there are 10 years olds at state universities. I would be fine with a state school. University of _________ would be fine.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes they do.</p>

<p>What’s wrong with staying in high school? You might be bored with academics, so why don’t you challenge yourself some other way? You can build an incredible application with your time in high school - you’re a very bright kid if you can do that much, that well, at such a young age. </p>
<p>Going to a state school might not challenge you as much as you want it to.</p>
<p>Medical school will.
If learning calculus was a little bit tough, then I will be challenged at a state school.</p>
<p>How old are you exactly? If you are deemed emotionally ready (don’t mean to sound condescending) then I’d talk to your counsoler if you are serious. I am assuming you are very academically capable. I personally would suggest taking at least your sophomore year with many AP classes (4-5) to simulate what college will be like. If you manage and are still bored go for it. If not, enjoy your high school life while you can. You will miss it.</p>
<p>I want to miss high school life. I just want to get out of college and into medical school as soon as possible. Yes, I would consider myself “emotionally ready.”</p>
<p>Why are you trying to rush through your life? Cherish the times you have right now, its only work from here, especially medschool!!</p>
<p>Check out Bard College at Simon’s Rock – also known as Simon’s Rock. It’s for students who skip much of high school. </p>
<p>Another thing you could consider doing a high school exchange program overseas. True, you’d still be IN high school, but in another country, learning to be fluent in a foreign language and likely having a total blast.</p>
<p>I know a young woman who did what you’re trying to do: skip high school. She did it by going to South America for a year, starting with the second semester of her sophomore year, and coming home for the second semester of her junior year. Then she took a full load of college classes over the summer at a near by community college, and graduated the summer after her junior year. In all, she only spent one full year in high school, then two semesters a year apart.</p>
<p>I have a friend who skipped two years of high school and went to her dream college. We are in our 40s now, and she feels like she missed out on key parts of college life because she was so much younger than the other students. She says it was a mistake and wishes she had done something else with the time, like an exchange program.</p>
<p>There is far too much liability involved in having a 14 year old residing with a host of 18+'s. Unless you’re an absolute prodigy, your chances are slim.</p>

<p>Ok, if you think you’re emotionally ready then I’ll just lay it out on the table. By saying that you think that you are as mature as an 18 year old senior, you display remarkable immaturity. You think you’re hot stuff because you got a 2230? Maybe you are. But if you were truly “college-ready” you would understand that maturity is not confined to academic success. It is built through personal relationships, through shared experiences, and through many things that you do while in high school. Now I will admit, high school isn’t the best time for everyone. But if nothing else, it builds character. Sports, classes, friends… the freshman me and the senior me are two vastly different people. I’d like to think that I am a much more mature, intelligent, and prepared student (person!) than I was three and a half years ago. And another thing: you want to be a physician of some sort. How do you expect to deal with patients if your social maturity is that of a stunted 14 year old? Do you expect to be partying and having lots of friends in college at 14-15? I’ll tell you right now, the answer is NO. Medicine is not a field where the most technically proficient make the best doctors. Those who have developed maturity and wisdom through experience do. You know what, here, read this. I just finished it (I plan on going into medicine, too).

<p>So let’s weigh the pros and cons, shall we?</p>
<p>Pros: Brilliant young academic. “Add years!” to your life as a professional. Avoid “boring” HS.
Cons: Miss out on many wonderful times and experiences. “Enjoy” a stunted social life in college. Become (probably) an emotionally and socially underdeveloped doctor. </p>
<p>In my (granted, limited) opinion, anyone who looks at the pros and the cons and still decides to go ahead is deluding themself. And remember… you are only 14, I am only 18, and we both have a tremendous amount to learn.</p>
<p>Honestly this is stupid.
a) enjoy high school
b) you’ll be, wat 19, when you leave college?
c) Why are you in such a hurry to grow up?
d) Think about it, what fun is a 15 yr old going to have in college. Heck dude your still in puberty. Give it a break.
Really bro, really. Think about this…Nothing’s wrong with being normal sometimes. Plus senior year is realy fun and so is junior year and sophmore yr. You took 2 ap’s, wow big deal. Take 5 and see how it feels because thats what it’ll be like in college except with more independent work. When your 40, you’ll be like, dam i wish i went to high school. Your 15 and you’ll be with a bunch of 18 yr olds. Plus theres no way you’ve proven yourself even at the high school level. A lot of kids get a 4.0 freshman yr. 30 kids at my school had a 4.0 at end of freshman yr, now only 1 has one at the middle of senior year. I’d be surprised if any state college took you. Your high SAT score doesn’t mean you have a hard work ethic, your ready for college work, your mature enough, your grown up, etc.
^if learning calc ab was a bit tough, you’ll get destroyed at a state university. Just because a state university isn’t a harvard or a yale, doesn’t mean its still really, hard work. This is why 15 year olds don’t make big decisions, because their views are too narrow to see the big picture. I’m starting to think your a ■■■■■, if not then this is one of the stupidest posts i’ve seen on CC. What do your parents think anyways?</p>
<p>By a little tough, I meant that learning Calculus BC material involved a little more than just reading the textbook. For this reason, I plan on just taking the AB exam because I don’t want to spend the time ensuring that I get a five on the exam. I am definitely not the party type! I hate doing things like that. I am too introvert to want to go out to eat with random people or to have a girlfriend while in college. It’s not that I lack the ability to be a physician, though. I know that I am not intellectually prodigious, but I do have the ability to learn quickly. Anyway, what does “academic success” have to do with “emotional readiness.” Are 20% of the people on this website unable to accept other people’s slightly outlandish ideas?</p>
<p>Did you learn the material for Calculus in a day? I didn’t and most of you didn’t either, so please don’t expect that out of me. If everyone could learn the material for AP courses in one short read through of a textbook, the freshman year of college would be unnecessary. While I do understand your views, I truly am partially fixated on the fact that I do not want to spend three more years in high school. MIT OCW, review books, AP Exams, and advanced standing tests only get you so far…</p>
<p>Unless liberalism and atheism are very strong signs of immaturity, then I would consider myself far beyond the maturity of most people my age. I can’t relate to people my age anyway.</p>
<p>“Ok, if you think you’re emotionally ready then I’ll just lay it out on the table. By saying that you think that you are as mature as an 18 year old senior, you display remarkable immaturity. You think you’re hot stuff because you got a 2230?”</p>
<p>hahaha samslam y u mad tho? high schools boring for him because its not academically challenging. no need to get all upset. understand that not all of us - including you and I- are like this kid here. obviously he understands and perceives things differently from us. dont make him think on your level</p>
<p>there’s stuff you get from high school that you just can’t learn from the classroom. You can only get if from time in high school. Nobody’s freshman self is the same as their hs senior self. People mature and grow, its not something you see happen instanteously, its a slow process. This is beyond the classroom. I’m telling you about people growing from going to high school parties and getting wasted and being that jock or hanging out with friends, etc. I’m just saying emotionally and socially (along with academically) you grow a lot. Your too young to see it or know just how important it is. I’m trying to help you from making a decision that you WILL regret in 20 something years please. Has anybody that knows you personally, told you that this is a good idea?</p>
<p>
Are you happy?</p>
<p>You can always graduate early after a year or two of HS, but you can’t easily go the other way. How do you even know you want to be a physician?</p>
<p>^everybody says that, this shows that your not mature enough. Plus, if you hate your school so much, then transfer high schools??</p>
<p>Interesting… you say you are mature, but you seem very condescending. A good physician is not condescending. Also, did you know that introverted physicians are more likely to be sued (and lose), because of there personality? If I were you, I would view the next three years of high school as a way to learn how to interact with people, especially those “beneath you.” As a physician, you’ll be interacting with a wide variety of people, including “close minded religious children.” You can always self study AP classes and maybe try to win Siemen’s or something… but you’ll never again have a chance at high school.</p>
<p>Make it as good as it can be. There is a lot you have yet to learn, maybe not academically, but socially. Also, when puberty hits you, I’m sure you will be regretting the decision to ignore girls.</p>
