Quick Poll: Is Finishing High School necessary for success in College?

<p>Yes, No, Maybe ? Give your opinions. Is there a reason we are in highschool for four years? Do we really need it? I speak to the advanced students, here. </p>

<p>A.) Yes
B.)NO
C.) It depends.</p>

<p>C</p>

<p>B /<em>though everybody should say C, because every situation is different, my personal belief for myself is B</em>/</p>

<p>Unless you are a child prodigy, yes most of the time. If you want to go to a good college, you'll need a diploma of your high school or they won't accept me. Of course there are ways around it I think......... but you definitely need the diploma. So I chose A. </p>

<p>I just heard rumors that high school might extend to 5 years in order to prepare for good colleges for those who messed up. But I highly doubt this will go through.</p>

<p>I also say A</p>

<p>I sure hope not. I'm a highschool dropout.</p>

<p>Finishing NetHack is necessary for success in College.</p>

<p>C. It depends. </p>

<p>For example, many highly selective colleges specifically report that they do NOT require a high school diploma for admission. Check Common Data Set filings for the colleges you are interested in to check this.</p>

<p>A. There are those who manage to do well in life despite not graduating, but those people are the exception, not the rule.</p>

<p>A</p>

<p>if you can get into the college without completing high school, then I don't think high school is necessary.</p>

<p>I don't think anyone could get into college without at least a high school degree...</p>

<p>There actually a couple people on CC who did that, fizix went (well, is going) to CalTech and InquilineKea went to WUSTL.</p>

<p>ya I would say C</p>

<p>c</p>

<p>10 char</p>

<p>A</p>

<p>If a person drop out for no reason, then most colleges dont want a person like that AT ALL unless they got a better reason than "I felt like dropping out" - even community colleges would have to be begged to accept a person quitting early </p>

<p>but obvioulsy the 4 years of prepatory are generally stupid</p>

<p>OKay let me rephrase this: How many of you think you could transfer to your state school right now and have no problems?</p>

<p>I say A, hands down.</p>
