I have taken all of the classes offered at my hs then went to take classes in community college
I could have graduated early but didnt. Will have 30-40 college units by high school graduation date. Took advantage of a loophole in CA which allows any hs student to go to community college for FREE.</p>

<p>a bit excessive, maybe, but I like to use the shotgun approach when it comes to college applications</p>
<p>As to my selection of colleges. This summer I visited a great deal of the ones in the Northeast. I am applying to Duke because I love the atmosphere. All of the other schools I'm applying to because they've been sending me pamplets for a Loooooooooong time. The UC's are sort of obligatory for students from my High School so I applied to them.</p>
<p>btw-got into tulane, full ride so even if I get rejected from the rest of the colleges at least I wont be a college orphan</p>
