I was wondering what would happen if, instead of doing my Junior year in HS, I would take courses at a cc and do highly rigorous courses like (natural doctor courses)and earn an ND degree. Then in senior year re-apply to hs. Is this a good or bad idea?

But I mean, what if i were to not do my junior year of highschool and dedicate it to community college and medicine programs and then go back in senior year?

Well the Highschools in my area arent that good but the area im moving into has good schools. But the schools in that area don't accept anymore kids until January. So I thought, I could take college courses until January, and self study for ap and then go back to Hs in January.

Natural Doctor Courses is where you can take courses to become an ND (Naturalpathic Doctor)which is not the MD (Medical Doctor).

I would tell you to enjoy the high school experience. This is the one time in your life where you don't pay taxes. You don't worry about your house payments or your car payments. You don't worry about getting fired from your job. Aside from college, your pre-college years will probably be the best years of your life.

Plus, if you don't feel busy enough, there's plenty to do in high school. What I would recommend, if your school doesn't offer many APs, is to manipulate your schedule so that you can become a part-time college student, taking about two classes along with four or five classes of high school.

So it wont look bad to universities, if I sit out half the year of my junior year or possibly the full year, while taking a full courseload at a cc and studying for 4 Ap's ?
