<p>You have great stats and the academic stuffs, but you lack the extracurriculars/activities that really show your passion.</p>
<p>They know from the stats you are great with school/academics but what about other things? They want to know more about you as a person more than just those records.</p>
<p>U can still apply for grad school. :)</p>

This is NOT true. If you have all those credits as a dual-enrolled student, where they are part of your high school curriculum, you absolutely CAN start at a top college as a freshman. My son got luckier in the elite college lottery than OP, and was accepted as a freshman to Rice, Harvey Mudd, Caltech, Colorado College, Rose Hulman, a state school, and Case Western. He has an associate of science degree, and his chosen college is perfectly aware of this.</p>
<p>^ Certain places, like Harvard, can be picky about it. They can also be really hard on home schooled kids and early college applicants. You maximize your chances by waiting until age 17/18 and going to a real school with other people, unless you have a good reason to change things up(i.e. you are an olympic athlete).</p>
<p>Mommathree and fritobandito- I applied as a freshman and didn’t transfer the credits…I told the colleges that being a home schooled student taking college classes would be the most rigorous “high school” curriculum I could take. I will be going for four years also. Thanks for the encouragement mommathree!</p>
<p>SmileyKing- That is what I have been thinking where the problem lies, but I know in my interview at Georgetown, my interviewer really thought I had a lot of passion and even shared very similar interests with me. </p>
<p>WoodrowWilsonJr- That could be it, my brother, who had similar stats was told in his interview there that he was smart but just too young to be ready for Harvard.
Thanks all of you for the thought provoking posts!!</p>
<p>Where have you decided to attend?</p>
<p>I have decided to attend Villanova University. I hope that I can add a lot to my app at Nova because when I apply to med school I don’t want to repeat my undergraduate process…I am still thinking about applying transfer to Georgetown just because that has been my first choice school for so long.</p>
<p>Things work out for the best. Work hard and earn the highest GPA possible. You are best off attending Villanova rather than an Ivy since you want to attend medical school. This is not meant as a knock, but you will have a higher GPA at Villanova than you would have at the reachy schools. For med school, GPA and MCAT scores are the two most important components.</p>
