<p>If I were to apply ED to a school of my choice and get in, assuming that I receive an acceptance letter around December or January, would it be possible to begin attending classes for the spring term of college or the second half of senior year? Once decisions are out most people in my school don't do anything and I find the 2nd half of senior year to be pretty useless. Since I would already be accepted to a college and taking the GED will grant me a high school diploma, there would be no real reason for me to stick around besides for the senior trip or prom but where I come from, that isn't all that great. So, the question is,...is it feasible?</p>
<p>the GED is not the same thing as a high school diploma. Just wait it out and graduate. If you’re in california the California High School Proficiency Exam is the equivalent of a hs diploma by law but i’m pretty sure that universitys will want graduation not just the chspe.</p>
<p>What some people have done is to take the CHSPE then go to a community college then transfer which shaves 2 years of high school off.</p>
<p>Why the **** would you not enjoy second semester of senior year…</p>
<p>Second semester senior year goes by really quickly. Just ride it out.</p>
<p>Nope. If you’re accepted to a school that does ED, it probably means you were accepted to a full time enrollment for the fall of your entering year. It’s pretty clearly spelled out when you were applying. A GED cannot serve as an equivalent to your high school’s diploma, especially when you were expected to “graduate” from your high school with decent marks in your second semester. </p>
<p>Also, your 2nd semester of senior year is some of the most enjoyable years after 13 years of forced indenture. It’s like being on parole after a decade of degradation and confinement. 
Enjoy that while it lasts.</p>
<p>Second semester of senior year is pretty amazing. You should enjoy every minute of it.</p>
<p>Wait it out. The end of senior year is easy, anyway. In addition, most colleges/employers frown upon a GED since it gives out the general consensus that you did not pass high school.</p>
<p>I want to graduate early to get my life started, i’m a good student but got a lot of stuff to do to succed my dreams so please if anyone knows how i can graduate early let me know please!</p>
<p>Unless you complete your credits before the end of the first semester, you’re not going anywhere. </p>
<p>Dropping out of school a semester before the end of senior year to take the GED. </p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>I’m a junior and I want to graduate early… as in not taking senior year… I want to get my high-school diploma, just a year early (whenever I explain this to people they all get confused). The policy at my school is that you need all of your credit.requirements filled and if you want to take a class early at a college you need to have all of the iinformation on it and have the administration approve of the.course. I see nothing wrong with graduating early because I have no need for an “easy senior year” or any of the “perks” to being a senior. All I need to graduate is one more English class after this year. I want to get started on my college life and even though I will only be 17 if I graduate early, my Psyche is that of a 20 year-olds. I’m not bragging or over-evaluating myself, my brain development is farther along than most 17 year olds and all of my friends are in college. I’m taking.g four AP classes and have 3.3 because I refuse to try because there is.no motivation for me besides going to college. Will it affect my chances of getting accepted to a college if I graduate early?</p>
