Let's all be completely honest and practical.

For what it’s worth, I personally knew a kid in high school who got his early acceptance to Michigan State rescinded after he basically stopped showing up at school after he got his acceptance. It was a big scandal at the school. I don’t know what eventually happened to him, but by the time his acceptance was pulled it was late spring, he had missed the deadline for applying anywhere else, and he had basically ruined his chances of getting in anywhere else if he decided to apply again the next year because his senior year grades were Ds and Fs (after having been a top 15% student the first three years.) What a terrible mistake.

Moral of the story: FINISH HIGH SCHOOL!!! (

Take a vacation in the summer if you want to…)
