That's the youngest I've ever heard of someone being admitted to college.

When I was in high school, there was a student who was a freshman at age 11 and a junior at age 12. He started college at NYU at age 13. His parents got an apartment near campus so that he could live with them instead of living in the dorms or commuting from Long Island.

The kid was brilliant. He was in my AP Computer Science class during his junior year, and boy could he code. He was also taking AP Calculus B/C and an AP science class (it was either bio or chem - I took AP physics and he wasn't in my class).

Unfortunately for him, he didn't get to do any of the fun senior-year things such as attending prom or walking out on Senior Cut Day or walking at graduation.
