College does sounds pretty useful, so I guess the question is whether I should leave high school, unschool for 3 years, then reapply to college. If that does not significantly reduce my college admissions potential it would seem like it is the most strategic thing to do.

Why not apply to college right away? Not seeing the need for the 3-year waiting period. You won't have formal qualifications anyway, so either you can convince them you know your stuff, or not.

I don't think I've accomplished enough at this point in my life to go to college immediately.
