<p>For alot of my applications, they ask me if I am graduating early (I am), and if so, why. Some just leave a few lines under the question, while others ask me to attach a separate sheet. </p>
<p>For those of you in the same situation, how much did you write, and with what style? I imagine they're not asking for the same eloquence and creativity as a personal statement/essay/etc, but I don't want to seem cold or anything.</p>
<p>I also don't have too strong of a reason for graduating early. I just got tired of high school-its immaturity, its repetitiveness, the overall petty-ness....any ideas for an eloquent way to express that without coming across as elitist or weird :)?</p>
<p>I graduated from high school at 15. Basically, I used up all of my school's resources and, in order to truly progress academically, needed a more challenging educational institution. Plus, the freedom of choosing classes that I'm interested in and from a much broader range of subjects.</p>
<p>Follow PavelB's model: you are drawn into college because of its greater resources - because it is the better environment to pursue your interests. You did well in high school, you made good use of your time there, and now it's simply time to move on to the next step in your life.</p>
<p>I might (MIGHT) apply to Cornell as a junior. If so, I think I'll talk about how I've used my three years to explore the possibilities but everything leads me back to environmental studies, which is why I'll be applying to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and my high school doesn't have anything more to offer me.</p>
<p>Then again, if I get in I'll tell them I'll wait a year to decide if I want to go or not. But I meet all the other requirements and I think I have a decent shot, so why not? Hehe.</p>
