Very mature 16-year-old - applying early?

[soozievt]

<p>I think it is pretty clear that the OP wrote about applying this coming fall (2011) to enter in fall of 2012.</p>

Would it be wise to plan to apply in the fall, and if so, where should we consider? Should she get a GED? Our EFC is low, but we could swing it if the school otherwise met full-need. I have very little experience with any of this; with her amount of testing, I don’t even know if it would be in her best interest in the long run to apply next year. I would very much appreciate more opinions on this.

<p>There were some other members who replied and implied attending college (not CC) this coming fall but that is not how I read the OP.</p>
