BOOK DESCRIPTION
I Skipped High SchoolI skipped my junior and senior years of high
school and went straight to college. I dont have a high school degree.
I dont need one--I have a bachelors degree from the University of
California, San Diego (UCSD).
Why Did I Do It?My sophomore year of high school bored me. I was
taking my first Advanced Placement (AP) class and realized what the
next two years held in store for me--stress. AP is supposed to be a
way to get college credit while in high school. That sounds good. The
reality is different.
* AP classes take a full school year vs. college courses take a
semester or quarter.
* After that long year, AP classes require you to take a cumulative
standardized exam to earn college credit. You could earn an A in the
class but have a bad test day and get no college credit. One year
wasted.
* Even if you do get a passing score (3 or better) on the AP exam,
many colleges only give you partial credit if you get a 5 (and
sometimes not even then).
* Each exam . This is more expensive than some colleges charge for a
semester of legitimate credit.
Why take AP classes at all? To be competitive. I needed a full load
of AP classes my junior and senior years if I wanted to compete with
my peers (who were doing the same thing).
I wanted to go to UCSD. I knew that it would be difficult to get into
such a competitive school unless I had top grades in all of my AP
classes and competitive scores in my standardized tests. Even if I did
earn top scores, this would be difficult. This was especially true
because my high school counselor placed me in the wrong classes,
making it more difficult to take the classes I needed to be
competitive. There had to be a better way. There is.
CollegeMany high school students look forward to the freedom college
provides. I was no exception, and if youre viewing this page, you
probably arent either. College allows you to set your own schedules,
have more free time, learn more interesting subjects and study with
students that are interested in the material. The upsides are
numerous. This was my solution to the high school problem.
How Did I Do It?I tell my story in my book, How to Dropout of High
School and Go Straight to College. I explain the realities of dropping
out as well as the new challenges youll face when you decide to skip
high school and go to college.
