Getting Into College Early

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello All:
I was recently wondering what my chances of being admitted to a decent college are right now, based on my credentials:
-Tenth grade
-2100 SAT Composite (~97%)
-3.98 Unweighted GPA, 4.1 Weighted GPA
-All Honors/AP Courses (inc. AP Computer Science)
-Two years at Johns-Hopkins CTY
-One summer and 100 AP course hours at Junior State
-Lawyer on Mock Trial Team
-V.P. of History Club (and State finalist for NHD)
-Ping-pong club
-Skipped 8th Grade
-English Dept. Award (best HS English student)
-Dept. Awards for Math and German</p>

<p>Thank You.</p>

<p>you’re only a sophomore. give it another year and keep focusing on your schoolwork and stuff b/c ya never know, you could go downhill.</p>

<p>and i would retake that SAT. aim for a 2200 or above, with over 700 in every category.</p>

<p>You could also look at early college programs like Simons Rock and others. These are programs specifically for HS students who want to start college before graduating from HS.</p>

<p>I just looked into the Simons Rock program, and it seems very interesting. Thank you again for this pointer!</p>

<p>There are some other schools that offer early college as well, I just can’t remember off the top if my head. Maybe another poster may be able to make suggestions of schools to look at. I think there is a poster who posts on the Theatre forum who goes by earlycollege who may have info on other schools as well.</p>
