Do I really need a high school diploma?

My only thought is that you’d be very well-advised to include this plan in your college application from the get-go, daydreamer. You are given the opportunity on college apps to list what classes you’ll be taking for the remainder of the year, so be sure to let them know up front. I don’t think they’d look so kindly on a kid who said she/he would finish up their high school classes, and then just opted out and said, ‘I decided to homeschool instead.’ I think that looks kind of opportunistic. If you’re totally upfront about it though, and explain what you’ll be studying and how you’ll go about it, then at least you’re giving them the information they’re going to want to assess your senior year choices.
