Should I graduate early?

<p>I am currently a sophomore and am thinking about either graduating after my junior year or after 1st semester of my senior yeah. If I graduated after junior year I would want to go to my state school for a year and then transfer somewhere else. If I graduated after 1st semester senior year I would want to take community college classes 2nd semester to gain college credit and then the next year go to a 4 year college.</p>

<p>If I graduated after junior year then next school year when i'm a junior I would take

-Econ/Gov
-US History
-English 11
-Algebra 2
-Pre-Calc
-Band </p>

<p>-I would need to take P.E. this summer (2015) and take Writing 101/102 before May 2016 at the community college. </p>

<p>If I graduated after 1st semester senior year I would take...</p>

<p>Junior Year
-Physics
-US History
-English 11
-Algebra 2
-PE
-Band
-Jazz band </p>

<p>1st semester senior year
-Pre-Calc
-Statistics
-English 12
-English 12 (a different one)
-Gov/Econ
-Band
-Jazz band </p>

<p>One of the things is if I graduated after 1st semester senior year then I would only be getting a semester of statistics and pre-calc, which could effect me when I enter college and have to take calculus since I wouldn't have technically finished all of pre-calc. </p>

<p>My GPA is currently a 3.8 and I am involved in marching band, HOSA (Health Occupation Students of America), Assisteens (a charity organization where I am an officer), little league umpiring and am interviewing soon to volunteer at a hospital.</p>

<p>For my future I am interested in attending West Point. But I am considering going to a state school because I will be able to get a better scholarship and am thinking about possibly trying to go on the med-school path. </p>

<p>I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on which path seems like a better idea for me. Thank you! </p>

<p>There’s usually no reason to graduate early. If you stay all four years, you’ll have more time to develop your resume and increase your chances of getting whatever scholarships and/or acceptances you want. You can take college classes through dual enrollment.</p>
