Answer 1

as long as you still get your diploma from hs you will be able to get into a unviersity. they don't care how many years you're there for as long as you have your diploma. in fact, finishing early is something to be proud of and brag about

Answer 2

about the osu part:

OSU is a good medical program, and it's hard to get in even with 4 full years of high school.

I'm sure you still have a fighting chance considering your grades and if you take your studies pretty seriously.

Other than that, my advice is to just hope for the best.

Answer 3

you will need to get all 4 years of highschool especially if you want to be a vet. Good grades will also be required to be a vet. If you wanted to join the military i would say that there is almost always a chance that you will have to go overseas. hope that helps

Answer 4

If you sign up for the military, there is no guarantee you will not be sent overseas.

Most colleges do not accept youth who have not graduated from high school.  There are a few exceptions but you would have to have an exceptional score (like all As) and off the chart SAT scores.  You can start at a community college that feeds into OSU and then transfer in after two years.  Vet schools are VERY competitive, and you would also have to have nearly all As in science and math in order to get in, as well as strong entrace test scores and work/volunteer experience in something animal related.  

Answer 5

I would say that it is better to do the 4 years. Plus, see if you can get into AP or dual credit courses (that are linked to a nearby college etc) because not only will that make your application more competitive, but you can save tons of money and already have course work done. Just through AP and dual credit alone, I got 35 hours of college work finished while I was in high school. I think it looks a lot better if you stay the 4 years  and stay involved in campus. Good luck! ^^
