@purpleacorn , I will receive a an Associate’s along with my HS Diploma, so I will count as a transfer - with a degree, I see no reason for these credits to not count. I have checked several policies and I’ve seen the ‘no taking a class for HS credit’ several times.
@thumper1 I am aware that Princeton doesn’t accept transfers. I already looked into the college and am not terribly interested anyway. Yes, I’m aware of the fact that my need will likely not be fully met, and I’ve started looking into scholarships. If I get accepted to one of these early entrance programs, I will still graduate from high school in 2018, as well as get my Associate’s, which is why I haven’t applied to full four-year programs that require me to drop out of high school (as well as the aforementioned potential lack of aid)
@“Erin’s Dad” Are you sure that full need is met for everyone? I didn’t look too closely, but I’m not sure about transfer FA. I am definitely aware that transfer rates are lower, but if Bard College at Simon’s Rock (while set up differently) is any indication, I won’t have more of a problem getting in compared to another senior in high school (assuming I would be qualified entering as a freshman as well).Isn’t a solid education and proving you can do well in college more important than the number of years you are staying
The reason I want to go to college early is that I’m bored. I’m doing well in most of my classes, except for the ones that I’m not interested in. I want the opportunity to dive deeply into a subject I’m passionate about, rather than cramming everything into my head.
