No offense, but you're an idiot if you actually believe that.
It's been done. I have a fried who had 75 college credits coming out of high school - for real.
Not sure when you started playing instruments, but I started on piano at age 4 and moved to guitar at age 12. At age 14 I could easily improvise if I was given the key. This is all from my experience. Age has nothing to do with skill level.
Guys the OP is asking for opinions on this. As he stated many times, this is IF and only IF they need him or what have you. It seems like some of you are taking this as he is going to drop out of school to play with a band.
Yes, but in order to receive a college credit, one must complete a high school class. Our friend has not done that, since he is in his first semester.
Jarhead, you got an algebra credit for a computer course?
Ding! Ding! Ding!
I have english credit for college that I got in junior and senior year of high school. I'm a freshman in college now. Seems like the OP is a pretty bright guy.
You have a while to think about this, really think this through. If you're already getting college credit in high school you may be better off staying in school. IMO of course. It's really completely up to you but as I said before you do have a while to think about this. Do whatever you and your parents feel is right. Make sure the band has an established fan base and try and think how this will impact your future. Think of the worst case scenario to put you in a mindset that you may have to deal with.
Wow guy. Where did you learn Communication Skills?
I have a college credit for algebra. Here you are able to get Spanish & Algebra in 8th grade if you are in high placement courses. They are provided the EOC, which will provide your credit.
That being said, this reminds me I actually have a better GPA that I thought. I have a 3.25 as of now, but classes are only on a scale of 4 at the moment so you know.
I have an algebra credit for algebra (98% correct on that EOC) and im acing my computers course, which is also a college credit.

Oh, of course not! There's no such thing as a smart kid who can get lucky a few times in his life! Or a kid who can ACTUALLY play bass! The chances are too low! It's a lie!
Sorry, but you keep acting like your classes are impressive, but they're really not. Maybe at your school Honors Geometry and a college level computer class is impressive Freshman year, but other schools aren't the same.
And Pre-Calc isn't AP.

Dang. Some people in this thread need to live a little.

go out, have fun. School can wait on you. You can't limit yourself to school. Go out and see the country and have fun. Ignore those trying to put you down.

You're not paying attention. He's a freshman....in high school.....his first semester......
I'm quite familiar with AP classes.
No, i'm not talking about dropping out.
I meant honors Pre-Cal, my bad.
No, they're not impressive because, they're actually pretty common. THere's a lot of smart kids. But god knows if you say you're smart on the internet it's too probable you're not!
[/sarcasm]
But really, they're pretty common. People don't seem to realize that.

You're not paying attention either. I'm talking about alternative shcooling to keep my education going if it is demanded. My education is coming first.
And here they offer you two credits in 8th grade.
I'm in my first semester freshman.
But wait, there's also 8th grade!
Great attitude. Insult his parents now. I'm not exactly sure why you keep posting negative comments about this IF statement. Have you read the posts made by the OP?
