I'm currently a sophomore in high school and am considering graduating at the end of my junior year. I was wondering how early graduation is looked at by colleges and what my chances of acceptance would be.
Current GPA 4.00 Unweighted, 4.92 Weighted
Class Rank 1/ ~800
Classes Completed Include:
AP Calculus AB
AP Statistics
AP Human Geography
Latin I
Honors Biology
Currently Enrolled for 2nd Semester:
AP Calculus BC
Honors Chemistry
Latin II
English II Honors
PSAT Combined Score - 209
Math - 80
Reading - 68
Writing - 61
If graduating early I would take the following classes my junior year:
Calculus 3
AP English 3 & 4
AP US History
Latin 3
Civics and Economics
AP Physics
AP Environmental Science
Graduating GPA would likely be 5.17; Most likely 1st in class
Currently considering UPenn Wharton B.S. in Economics with concentrations in Finance and Insurance/ Risk Management
What are my chances at being accepted if I graduate early, also I would like to work in Private Equity, what are my chances of becoming an analyst straight out of Wharton undergrad.
Thanks, any input is appreciated

Very impressive stuff, can't really comment on your chances without knowing sports/extracurricular/volunteer work. Because at the end of the day what is really separating you from all the other applicants who got good grades too?
Personally I think that you shouldn't want to rush through school, its one of the few times in life where your responsibilities are almost non-existent and you can make some awesome memories/friendships. Also it allows you to mature more as a person. My advice is to stick it out till your senior year. This would give you time to complete all of those AP classes and be able to work on some sports/extracurricular/volunteer work instead of crunching it all into 1 year.
