<p>If you want “insane” undergrads from MIT, just look at MIT’s faculty and see if anyone was an undergrad there. In my own school, I’ve heard of a good number of professors with the above kind of background – e.g. graduating with a PhD in math in a year, etc. MIT definitely would have plenty of those. Though I should mention, I’ve also heard of professors who were not totally insane (but very strong…in a more regular way) as undergrads but turned out to be insanely successful researchers.</p>
