I think I want to graduate early(I'd be 16 and a junior). Three resons: 1)I have this thing about being the youngest... I've been 'youngest' for a lot of things including school courses 2)I'm a wicked hypochondriac and want to do things before I get cancer and die. 3)I feel I'm ready for something new and challenging.
I have all four English credits (I've taken 3 English classes and Theatre Arts gives me an English credit) and I think I would need to do two exrta long block classes to graduate.
I could do it, but I was wondering if colleges would look down on this. My aunt went to the college I want to go to when she was 16. My dad works at the college I want to go to. I've worked for the college. The only thing is, I'm too poor to do anything like travel to China with a program or anything cool like that. But I could use that year if I graduate early to do that. Would it hurt my chances if a college sees that I CRAMMED my last semester to graduate early? Pros or cons?

Welcome aboard I graduated when I was just turning 16!!!! Is really cool get done with school and be the youngest. But whatever you do take your time and I mean it. Life can be really hard when you get out. You are gonna face the world the way it is. I decided to got to college rigth away and now I'm 18 in my sophomore year in college. Do what you think is best for you but take your time because you have plenty, do something that you like and inspire you, take some time off if you want. But don't rush!!! Good luck. If you have good grades I think any college would like to have you...

Follow your heart, if graduating early suits you then by all means necessary, DO IT! I don't believe colleges care how old you are, its the GPA's and SAT's they care about.
I graduated early and five years later I still am very happy with the decision I made.
Good Luck to you.
