<p>My homeschooled d. entered college at 16, after what would have been her sophomore high school year. She already had 66 college credits from two- and four-year institutions, and threw them all away. She was accepted by Williams (where she was recruited), Smith (where she attended) and a host of other prestige privates. The issue of her age never even came up.</p>
<p>Smith is pretty spectacular these days in science and engineering. (But my d. was a music/Italian Studies major.)</p>
