Is Early Graduation Good?

[Michael Brand]

My high school offers Credit by Examination over the summer, and if I can get 2 semesters of credit over the summer, I will be in a position to graduate a semester early. I was planning to take 5 AP courses next year, so this would mean that I would miss all of my AP exams, but if I were to take courses at a local college instead during that second semester, I'd still be recieving college credit. Does the Admissions Board look at it as a pro or a con for a cndidate to graduate early? If pro, what else should I be doing with that empty semester?

Michael, someone asked the same question two weeks ago. Start by reading this thread:

I hope it will give you some food for thought.

Take the AP exams anyway. Do well and you will be ahead of the pack regardless of where you end up.
