Me too. I scored higher percentile-wise when I was 12 for the ACT, and there was NO WAY I was cut out for college work back then. Standardized test scores are only part of the story, but I wonder how they determined he was academically prepared enough.
In comparison, Sho Yano, one of the most famous child prodigies, went to Loyola University at age 9 after scoring a 1500/1600 on the SAT at age eight. He's now in his early 20's and he said the experience was good for him. |
