<p>I'm currently in my "junior" year (I will complete high school in three years) but I have an issue. I have been to 3 different schools so far and next year I might be homeschooled. This is because I am extremely fed up with teenager drama, which seems to be in every school I have been to (no surprise). However, I feel like if I switch schools (next year, if I was homeschooled, I'd take mostly APs or dual enrollment), colleges will think that I am a terrible candidate.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
My SAT scores aren't terrible, and I get mostly As wherever I go, but I am worried. Should I stick through the bullying next year, or will colleges realize my predicament?</p>

Clarify? If you are a Junior and will be graduating next year, I would advise against it. It typically doesn’t look good to switch high schools throughout year 11/12.</p>
<p>Thanks, engineerhead. I will be graduating next spring.</p>

<p>The general consensus appears to be that opting to Homeschool does not damage your admissions chances. There are as many reasons for opting to Homeschool, or for early college enrollment, as there are students who choose to go those routes. If it is the right decision for you, you should do it.</p>
<p>It’s not so much the decision to homeschool, it’s the decision to switch schools (or educational options). I don’t want colleges to think I’m a terrible student and can’t stay in one place</p>
<p>If you are a terrible student, it will show in your transcripts. If you are a good student, or even an excellent student, switching schools in the pursuit of a superior academic experience can only be considered a positive thing!</p>
<p>Whether or not switching schools between year 11 & 12 truly affects your admissions standards, I consistently hear people advocating and advising against it. It’s like digging out a planted plant, and relocating it to a new area to be planted. The drastic change affects the plant, and that’s why extra steps are typically taken when plants are relocated to ensure their survival because the change is too much for the plant to endure. It’s not like switching schools after your soph, before your junior, year.</p>
