Chance me, if you please?

I have no experience chancing people for early entrance and I’m really bad at chancing everyone else.

Technically you say are actually graduating, not leaving HS early. Wellesley has an admissions program for high school juniors, who aren’t graduating, you can find at least one mention in here:

Applicants must demonstrate “sufficient academic and personal maturity” (and interview).

Even saying that they have this plan means that they’re not closed to having someone who finishes high school in three years, as they have a category for people who leave high school after three years, which means you have as good a shot as any.

Unfortunately I don’t know what the statistics are, or how many people apply under that early admission program. (someone asked me if I came from 11th grade once during Orientation. I look young, and I’ve been mistaken for a 13 year old while a college student.) I wouldn’t worry about being from New York or being white.

It makes me feel old that you took the SAT in eighth grade and it was the new SAT… and now you’re applying to college.
