[nabs-l] The Next Few Years of My Life

[Ahbee Orton]

How many AP courses did you take at once, if you took any? It would be a lot to take four courses, but did you do that at one time?

> The advice that you've received thus far is great, I just want to add that doing things early is good but not at all necessary in this case.  I'm definitely someone who believes in high standards, working hard, pushing yourself etc.  but there really is no need to finish high school early or attend a training center during your senior year of what would have been high school.  Bear in mind, I'm not sure how old you are but let's just say that you'd be 17 during your senior year.  You have to decide what that might look like for you socially at a training center, academically in terms of AP credits that you'd potentially be missing out on and economically if those classes could have saved you money.  I'd also just like to add that in my experience, the advanced placement courses in themselves prepared me for college in ways that others did not.  It's not just about the credits, it's about the expectations of the course (which may force you to change your study habits), and the style of the classes (which may vary slightly depending on your school).  Teachers really do try to make it a simulation of the college classroom and that is something that I'd highly recommend taking advantage of if you can, because it lessens the learning curve of college when you get there.  I definitely think training is a good idea, but I don't necessarily think that graduating high school early is in this case.  However, that largely depends on you, so like Miso said, do what makes you feel comfortable.
