I think you could still take the GED and apply to colleges right now. I think it sometimes can help to discuss things concretely “I have my GED and have been accepted to XYZ Uni to study ABC” v. “I could get my GED and apply to colleges.”.
If you can’t graduate 2 years early with a GED, you could try graduating 1 year early by just earning all the necessary credits. My school offered credits for passing AP exams, and I just self-studied for several of them and passed them.
I would do that, but they don’t let you take the GED unless you’ve officially dropped out of high school. Which isn’t happening...
I’ve considered graduating a year early, but at that point I’d rather just finish it out. I’ll have enough free room in my schedule to take fun art classes and stuff.
My parents were similarly irrational.
