<p>ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I am not sure how this will fit into the rest of my application, but I think it's a large hook that I'll be graduating high-school
2-3 years early.
(when I'm 15)
-Took SAT 3 years early
-Spent my entire high-school career dual-enrolling at a college
-Almost completed my AA degree (due to amount of credits taken at college)
-started attending college at 14
-homeschooled my whole life (but not for religious reasons, I'll make that clear)
-Ill get my bachelors done 4-6 years early (depending on how slow or fast I go)
-Other benefits of graduating young</p>
<p>-Also, both my grandfathers are doctors and chemists, and my father is a full professor and well-known in his field
(not sure how that will help, but thought I should put it down)</p>
<p>I don't know how many other kids graduate this early, and in these circumstances, but I think it's the most unique part of my application so far.</p>
<p>If need be, I can wait another year in high school, and I will still graduate 2 years early. That will give me time to boost my GPA, readily prepare for college, and do something amazing. Good idea, or no?</p>
