I do not want to sound ignorant, but wait, how are you taking classes at Princeton? Is it a special high school program of sorts?



Schools nearby who I suppose are in good standing with the school (my school is kind of a feeder school, well at least it was) are sent applications to enroll in the “High School Program at Princeton University” (It’s not really widely published and I’m sure most universities have some sort of small program for motivated high school students). Students are only eligible if they max out in classes in a specific subject (for example… they take all the AP Sciences in their school or they take the highest math course or Spanish course… etc) before their senior year (or junior year if they’re like super amazing) and then can register for actual classes at Princeton, do all the work and exams/papers, and instead of receiving college credit, they get a grade on their high school transcript.
