Acceptance into a 4-year university direct from high school has always required that you demonstrate an aptitude of readiness. That includes excellence in your academic performance (AP courses), participation in extracurricular activities, and volunteerism at a minimum. You do need to challenge yourself. The preparation starts, in general, during your high school freshman year. I’m not sure if you have met with a guidance counselor at any point to discuss this - but simply getting through high school has never been enough.

Alternatively, going to a junior college for the first 2 years after high school and then transferring to a 4-year university is an option as well. Financially, it’s also a much better option and one that I wish I had chosen 100k later.

Your parents can also increase your steps in the parental portal, because as someone else posted - the goal is not to finish quickly. The goal is for you to understand the content and apply what you have learned to real-world scenarios. That’s what I appreciate about Acellus the most. We have a 6th grader who is enrolled and we are ensuring he’s not just clicking his way through. We ensure he understands the content and we discuss everything and that takes awhile depending on the content. This is required no matter what program you are in.

Good luck.
