I am a high school senior this year and I have already taken all of the rigorous classes my school can offer. I have all the credits to graduate. Will colleges find it weird? Thank you.
High achieving high school students who take college courses before high school graduation are not rare enough to be “weird” to colleges.
Do not graduate but be dual enrolled for senior year. It’s quite common for high achieving students. Just make sure to take rigorous courses: calculus or statistics, Philosophy, classes that relate to your expected major.
@MYOS1634 why philosophy - many colleges don’t require it and it isn’t a high school class colleges look for
Colleges will not find it weird. There are plenty of kids who do up to two full years of all dual enrollment classes in high school and colleges are very used to it. If you want to graduate early to do so I would discourage it but if you do it through your high school dual enrollment program it is fine. With dual enrollment your still a high school senior so you enter college as a college freshman (with advanced credit standing depending on where you go) which typically has much better merit scholarships for freshman than transfers.
@momtogirls2 : precisely because it’s not required by high schools. It’s considered a “post AP” rigorous class in the Humanities and a sign the student has intellectual curiosity/ambition.
Think of it as a senior who takes linear algebra rather than precalculus.
