<p>Since you seem awfully knowledgeable about high school, as a junior, I’d like to ask you a question. I attend a Jewish, Orthodox school for girls, where thus far, not a single girl has gone to college outside of Orthodox schools, let alone even applied. I’ve had my heart set on being a physician since 7th grade and while I do recognize that this is subject to change, I’d definitely like to go into the medical field. It’s basically April and I’m suddenly realizing that my school does not have much to offer me next year in terms of academics, as I’d be taking AP Bio, Calc and Pysch, which I can obviously do in college. The only 12th grade history class offered is AP Gov, which I’m self-studying this year and the English classes are terrible and I was anyways planning on supplementing. All other classes are Hebrew classes which are not necessary for further education. In addition, I’m going to get many, many speeches from my principal about how I shouldn’t become a physician or attend a regular university because she doesn’t approve (religious reasons) and I’m not interested in hearing any of it. I was thinking about skipping my senior year and going straight to college and while I recognize that I’d be disappointing my principal and many teachers, I know what I want to do with my life and I feel that my senior year will be wasted. Is this a stupid, reckless decision, assuming I could even do this so late in the year? Am I jumping the gun, or in my position do you think this might be a positive decision? Thank you!</p>
