Not all colleges require a lot of tumbling. And by the time you go to college your body size will have changed to some extent and you may have more skills.
Here is a university team that competes at NCA down in Daytona. They do not have much tumbling at all: http://youtube.com/watch?v=f9ptHoZPWFM

I'm only twelve also, and I have a back handspring, and I'm working on my tuck. We both still have time to work on it. There are lots of squads in college that would accept you. But, of course you might not make a squad that has won back2back championships or anything. when u get your back tuck, and layout full, you'll be guaranteed a spot on all the greatest teams.
If you've never been a fly or a base or a back spot, then you should join an allstar squad so you can get familiar with it.
If you keep on improving you'll be accepted by Louisville, Maryland, Kennesaw State, Morgan State, Delaware and more really good colleges known for cheerleading.

I was wondering that same question on this a while back, and someone told me it depends on the college and a backhandspring was the thing to know, but keep practicing anyways and learn more stuff

some unis and faculties, even tippy tops, do not require a HS degree. MIT does not as an occasion. nevertheless, you will ought to ask them to drop out after being admitted, and deliver an particularly distinctive plan of ways you will make your self helpful.
