<p>Some kids in my school have the necessary credits and graduated HS as juniors, the thing is could they get into college?</p>
<p>I dont think thats a very wise idea</p>
<p>someone from my class did it, went to GW..</p>
<p>I'll tell you what's up. High school SUCKS (in some cases) and smart kids want to go to college where they can be challenged. I don't see anything wrong with it, in fact I wish I had done it.</p>
<p>i know people who did and got into schools. its not that big of a deal.</p>
<p>there's no problem with that, in some cases it means they can start college early...</p>
<p>I wish i did it. I know people who did it and is a sophomore now...(or i wish i graduated a semester earlier) oh well. I enjoyed my senior year.</p>
<p>It's annoying when people graduate early to go to community college and come back all high and mighty with that "I'm-smarter-than-you-are" attitude. Of course, that's not to say that CC is bad, but anybody with enough credits can do it and to graduating early isn't that hard.</p>
<p>LOL, I wish I had done it..</p>
<p>+I could do it right now, but as much as I hate HS, who wants to start something like that all over again, senior year is supposed to be fun</p>
<p>I did it (long ago, I'm a parent now) and my older sister did, too. Skipping that extra year was very unusual at that time. </p>
<p>We both went on to a big state school. Neither of us had to sweat too much to get into college. Once we were in college nobody cared that we were a year younger. </p>
<p>I think skipping a year is a great idea if a kid is bored and kind of socially out of step with the other students. If you're having a great time, have lots of friends, enjoy school sports and social activities, love living at home, then by all means stay in HS. What I don't get is seniors (or younger students) who are taking a ton of AP courses and racking up college credits and doing research and are generally beyond what a HS can offer. Why not just move on to college?</p>
<p>I know a lot of people who grad. early.</p>
<p>wackymother, i think thats what it now means to be a competitve applicant. to be better than the average student to get into a top notch school you have to overextend yourself and take on a college course and activity load...even though its most likely what you are going to do in college...you have to get there first...</p>
<p>I don't think I could ever do that. You miss out on your senior year; that's something you should remember your whole life.</p>
<p>I'm a parent and I graduated when I was 16 (just a semester early), for the reason Anoel indicated 'high school sucked'. I was just ready to be done with it. I worked and volunteered for the semester, and then started college in the fall. I was fortunate that my parents supported me in doing this (infact, my mom suggested it).
Early graduation is not for everyone, but it can be a good way to go for some</p>
<p>a girl from my school graduated as a junior and is currently in harvard... i don't think it really matters to colleges as long as they show that they can handle it</p>
<p>I decided not to graduate last year and spent all of this year regretting it... I was ready for college early, that's all</p>
<p>I will graduate 2 years early, but i skipped my grades earlier (like in middle school and elementary) so it hasn't affected my high school social life (except I can't drive).</p>
<p>Yeah, I skipped a grade in elementary school. It was fun stuff. Being younger has actually been more fun, cause my best friend is younger too! We have loads of fun being immature... :-)</p>
<p>As far as going to college early...senior year and graduation has been so awesome..I wouldn't trade it for anything..even leaving my horrible high school one year early!</p>
<p>I wish I would have graduated a year early. Senior year is both boring and lame.</p>
<p>I wish I had seen the benefits of graduating early in my freshman year because then I could have taken the necessary courses. High school sucks.</p>
