<p>How does one find summer schools in order to skip classes?? Does anyone know if they do this or the early graduation thing at Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, or any ivy for that matter. </p>

<p>I’m not sure that I understand your question, it isn’t clear, but I’ll attempt to answer my conception of it. If you’re looking for a way to get credits for school over the summer you can either (a), enroll in classes at a local community college. Or (b) which is an extremely good experience, you can do programs that offer college credit iike Summer@Brown, or Harvard SSP, or CalTechSSP. All good programs you can look into.</p>
<p>thanks, this is probably a stupid question but which is more expensive, and what do they cost? also, will the harvard/brown thing let me skip a grade at school?</p>
<p>i’m a freshman and these are my stats, been in 2 travelling soccer tournements in connecticut and new jersey, began volunteering at mothers hospital, own a green belt in tae kwon do and will be in tournaments, principles list(everthing above 90 average, i had a 95).</p>
<p>Take english 9 honors, global history honors, math AB honors, and my problem is that i didn’t have oppertunity to take advanced 8th math so in standard science…hence why i want the credit over the summer to go into AP chem next year.</p>
<p>lots of questions.</p>
<p>bump!!!</p>
<p>im not sure exactly of the prices but you can look them up. and no, no program s going to allow you to skip a grade. the point of doing the prorams is not to up your application but to show that you are dedicated. and by doing this to skip a grade, is showing that you aren’t dedicated to learning. those arent really stats, those are more things that interest you. unless u show passion in for exmaple, a green belt in tae kwon doe, that isn’t going to catch the eye of someone looking at your application. im not meaning to like brst your bubble or anyhting, but also the socer thing. i too play soccer, and my team won 2nd place in states last year, but i wouldn’t really mention anything about going to a tournment, not that impressive. volunteering at the hospital is good. and ur grades are up to par. instead of having all these random things like hospital, tae kown doe, and osccer, you should find one thing that really interests you and show passion for it. colleges want to see someone who is dedicated. like persay you were interested in business. join the business clubs in your school, do an internship over the summer a business type firm, and go to leadershpi camps having to do with business. like that kind of thing. but you’re on a good path, seeing as you’re a freshman, and are already consdiering college.</p>
<p>Yes passion. could i show passion but list random things on the EC portions as well? But you know how they look to make sure you took all the advanced courses offered to you, well i’m not in the science one because my middle school didn’t have it, are you positive that community colleges dont let you take say biology honors over summer?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure most comm. colleges offer bio of the summer, but don’t take my word for it. or you can self study it. i just misundderstood when you said “skip a year”. hah.</p>
<p>yeah about the EC thing, i can show passion for my medical interest, i may get an athletic scholarship(soccer), but list my other EC’s briefly right?</p>
<p>I mean like colleges don’t want a big laundry list. You want to show the things that are going to show passion and well roundedness.</p>
