But What About the Prom? Students' Perceptions of Early College Entrance

Abstract

The Early Entrance Program at the University of Washington enables bright and highly motivated adolescents to enter the University of Washington without attending high school. Previous research indicates that students do well academically at the UW, with grade point averages much higher than those earned by regular-age students, and that they adjust well to college life. This study exaimined student perceptions of early college entrance, focusing on the reasons students choose this unusual educational option; their experiences with peers, regular age students, and professors; and the effect of skipping high school on their social, emotional, and intellectual development.
