Do I really need a high school diploma?

My question to you would be does the new school offer advanced/honors/AP classes? It’s not the point that you have the credits enough to graduate HS (I think I met my state’s requirements midway my Sophomore year). To be a viable applicant to the schools you mention, you MUST show a willingness to take whatever rigorous curriculum is available. If you gotta take Montana history and an intro Computer class and PhysEd, why not take that 4th year of language or other AP classes available? Do you think your 3-year transcript is THAT superior to others who are very tight and chocked full?

Sure you don’t have to go that route but you’ve stated that you want to insert yourself to very rigorous scrutiny and a GED with a thin Senior year schedule would catch peoples’ attention – in a bad way, IMHO.
