<p>Has anyone here completed/planned to complete undergrad in 3 years?</p>
<p>I'm currently a high school senior contemplating on the idea. I have two AP credits currently and hope to pass 3 more this may. And take two classes over the summer to fulfill my freshmen year requirements. </p>
<p>Has anyone had any problems doing this? I plan on pursuing a graduate degree as well. I'm mostly doing this to save money, as law school is also an option. </p>
<p>Tips? Advice? Comments?</p>
<p>I considered graduating a year early but then decided against it. The extra year gives me more time to prepare for graduate school: I can take graduate-level courses, do research, and develop closer relationships to my professors (letters of recommendation!). Luckily money is not an issue for me.</p>
<p>If money is an issue, graduating early might make a lot of sense, especially if you want to go to law school (which is totally unrelated to your undergraduate major and really really expensive). </p>
<p>Do you know if graduating in 3 years is academically feasible? For example, can you satisfy all of the requirements for your major in 3 years? Some science majors entail long sequences of prerequisites, which might require 4 years or major-specific summer classes. At a few universities classes are so overcrowded that students get shut out of classes and may need to postpone a class or two for a semester or year. That might be detrimental if you don’t have much wiggle room to begin with.</p>
<p>Long story short, it is hard to give you a general answer. I recommend that you discuss your options with an academic adviser before you register for classes.</p>
<p>There isn’t really any point of graduating College early unless you have financial concerns.</p>
<p>It has basically turned into four years in which you do absolutely nothing and are surrounded by a bunch of other people who do absolutely nothing productive all day.</p>
<p>So yeah, College is a waste of time.</p>
