I am deciding whether or not to graduate high school after 3 years - I’m currently at the end of my sophomore year. I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA and I plan to maintain that throughout high school regardless of which path I decide on. If I graduated early, I would end high school with 9 or 10 AP classes and 2 honors classes. I want to give myself lots of good options after I apply to college; this means that my applications list spans from state universities to the Ivies, but mostly centers around schools with 7 - 15 percent acceptance rates. I have a solid list of extracurriculars - national qualifier in Debate and BPA (business professionals of America), 2x state champ in BPA, Academic All State, Key Club, Mock Trial, Newspaper. I have leadership in debate, mock trial, and newspaper. I also started my own interview radio show with over 100 interviews, produce another interview show, and am trying to finalize a summer internship with a digital journalism magazine in my area. I want to go to school for English or journalism. The prospect of staying in HS for two more years is really grim, but tell me, do you think that it would be worth it in the long run to wait it out and graduate on the normal path? Am I set up in a solid position to be accepted to top schools or Ivies if I graduate early? I’ve heard both answers but need to settle on a decision soon. Thanks in advance, Elijah.
