I dropped out of 8th grade two years ago so I could start taking college classes. I want to graduate with a Bachelor's by the time I would have graduated from high school (Spring 2028). I will be 17 at that time. I've been considering Excelsior University because it accepts so many transfer credits. Is Excelsior the best path, or is there a better college, especially for my age? I'm legally homeschooled, so all of my college credits will count for high school as well.
After my Bachelor's, I want to get a Master's and Doctorate, would this affect how I go about getting my Bachelor's?
I would also like to graduate with a high GPA and honors. Of the two ASU classes I have taken I got a 96 and 100.
Your Location: Arkansas, United States
Your Age: 14
What kind of degree do you want?: BS Psychology
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 6 - ASU - Currently working on another 9
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 12 - CLEP - Currently working on another 3
Any certifications or military experience?: No
Budget: Cheaper is obviously better, but money is not really an issue.
Commitments: I work at a theatre around 15-20 hours a week during the school year, off and on, and 40-50 hours a week in the summer.
Dedicated time to study: My only job is at the theatre, and I don't go to school anymore, so I can work as long as I need to.
Timeline: I would like to graduate by the Winter of 2027, but the Spring of 2028 can work too.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None
I really appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks!
