Skippping undergrad? (or at least the first 2 years of college)?

I dropped out of high school at the age of 16 and started my own business which is currently going smoothly and being prepared to further expand in near future. The business wasn’t the cause to my drop-out though. It was because I enjoyed teaching myself way more than going to school and following the pace of the classes. I self-taught Calculus, college level history, English, foreign languages, and more at the age of 14.5/15 and I finally decided to drop out a year later.

Anyways, long question short, I was wondering if there’s any way to apply for a four year college as a junior transfer student as someone who’s been “home-schooled” I’ve been following Princeton’s and Stanford’s syllabi for the past two years and completed their required classes for the major I’m interested in.

I know this is an extremely rare case therefore perhaps nobody may be able to give me a definite answer (which I doubt there is), but any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to “transfer in” at the junior level at any college or university without evidence (official transcripts) of prior college-level studies. Homeschooling in this respect is not an equivalent. However, you can accomplish your goal (or at least come quite close) by another route.

You may take the Advanced Placement exams (offered by Educational Testing Services) prior to applying. Your AP scores, if high enough, may allow you to place out of introductory coursework in many subject areas. I have provided a link to information on the AP exams below.

At most colleges and universities, after you are accepted, you may also take additional, institutionally-specific placement tests in mathematics, languages, and English upon arrival. Your scores on these exams will also allow you to bypass certain introductory courses. These courses and exams will vary from university to university.

I wish you every success.

Many schools accept the CLEP exams as well. It is possible for you to get up to 30 credits at some schools. So you may be able to transfer in as a sophmore.

No college will allow you to enter as a junior.
