There are a lot of colleges that say explicitly in their Common Data Set filings that they do not require a high school diploma for admission. Harvard is one of those colleges.

If you’ll be in a new high school, your smartest plan is to prepare well for a demanding college environment, whether or not that meets the mesh between the former high school graduation requirements and the new high school graduation requirements. Think about your future. But make sure you talk to your high school counselor about your plans. That may be a new idea to your counselor.
