Im home schooled
2007-03-30 22:07:03 · update #1
That's kind of what I did. I graduated in December of 2005 at 15 and started college in January - it's totally possible, but just from all the crap I've had to deal with so far, it makes sense to count the cost. while i admit i'm glad to be out of the high school world, at first i had a hard time being taken seriously at school. people would assume i was of age, and we would being to develop a relationship, but when they found out I was only 15/16, they would be a little wierded out, because say Little Sister at home was older than me. Also, I have gotten several job offers to make needed money during the time i've been at college who have later retracted thier offer when they found out I was under 18 - and this is after they loved my interview. Also, it has been a source of a LOT of tension between me and my parents, because they have a hard time dealing with the balance between my still being a teenager and such, but also being halfway done with college and having a full time job also. A lot of times they don't give me the freedom I need to be able to handle all of the responsibilities that I have to take care of because I am far ahead in school. Make sure to make a plan with your parents about their involvement before you make the decision to go to college so early.

I recommend taking college coures during your senior or junior year. It will shave time off what it takes to earn a college degree. Find out if your high school offers dual credit classes. It's better than AP because when you pass the class you get credit.

That would take a LOT of work, but you could do it if you wanted. One thing that would help is that 'usually' kids have fewer credits left to earn their senior year, so it wouldn't QUITE be like doing 2 years in one.

I don't see why not, if you're willing to work that hard. It would normally require, what, 20 hours/week to finish a year in a normal fashion? So double that--you need to be willing to work 40 hours a week.

I know homeschooled students that have graduate a year or a semester early, but you're shooting for three semesters early. It will take a lot of self-motivation and discipline, but if you're really committed I'm sure you can do it.

Yes you can. That's one of the wonderful things about homeschooling. You do not have to go at anyone's pace but your own. It will take hard work, sacrifice, and motivation. But I am sure that as a homeschooler, you are familiar with all three. Go for it! (And my compliments to you and your parents for choosing this path.)

it depends on how many credits you have and what else is required. I would ask yor advisor. Also I would make sure you have something lined up like college or work so you aren't just sitting around.

Yes. If you have the self discipline to focus on just school, and the intellectual ability to absorb what you need to learn that quickly, than you can do it.
