<p>I am panicking right now about my senior year of high school. I am an excellent student who has taken all AP classes this year, and I am applying to many excellent schools in the midwest including Wash U, SLU, Northwestern, Wheaton, and a few others. I have a 34 on the ACT, and currently I am graduating in December, a semester early. I plan to take community college courses in the spring semester and then attend the college I choose in the Fall. But now I realize that I might miss high school, my teachers are excellent, I can easily maintain A's in any class I take, and if I leave I won't have as much social interaction. What should I do? Should I stay and earn pointless credits for one more semester, or should I leave and take college courses and work 20 hours a week? I need answers ASAP so that I can make my decision! Any advice will be considered :)</p>
<p>you can't do dual-enrollment?</p>
<p>I think you should stay. Take your AP tests and get credit...thats even cheaper than a community college and you don't miss out on any high school activities. Yes, I know that highschool kind of sucks, and most kids don't think they would mind missing out on everything, but in the end...most kids do. </p>
<p>I say stay and make the most of it..with your AP's you can still earn college credit. </p>
<p>Also, if highschool is that easy for you, you could still work if you stay in.</p>
<p>If you have the option of taking a ton of APs and earning college credit that way, stay in high school. You could end up with more credits from AP than from a semester of community college.</p>
<p>You will miss your friends and the people you grew up with. Just savor your last year with them.</p>
<p>2nd semester senior year is where its all gonna be at. what're you thinking!?</p>
<p>^Exactly!</p>
<p>Prom, Spring Week, Senior Picnic, GRADUATION, GRAD NITE!!!</p>
<p>Plus, for me: Spring Musical. w00t.</p>
<p>You don't even have to get amazing grades second semester. Just coast by with some B's and do well on your AP exams. You should have plenty of time left over for all the fun senior activities and maybe some more left to work.</p>
