One of my sorority sisters is graduating college in 3 years.
This is very true regarding graduating in 3 years. My oldest had hs credits in Algebra I and French I that she took in ms. My youngest took Algebra I, Geometry and French I in ms, all of which will count as hs credits when he starts hs. Now if only I had convinced them to drop their respective band and orchestra classes and instead taken Latin I in addition to French I in 8th....

The boy featured in this article http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...091901779.html graduated from UVa in 1 year. He did roll in near 72 credits from AP scores but of course still had to complete 60 credits at UVa to earn an undergraduate degree from UVa.
