Thanks for all the info. I know they profiled a girl in the news that graduated from Stoney brook at 14. But it was the local school. She lived at home and that is what I was talking about, just taking courses with no end in mind. But in these cases, many of them just graduate. I am just posting the practical side from someone who is really removed with a 3 year old.

And I totally get what you said Kriston about colleges wanting the unusual, self starter. Bill Gates did donate a huge amount of money to Harvard, despite not graduating. Tangent...

But the kind of kid that takes off early, like that kid who wants to get the record for sailing around the world at 16, is homeschooled, is doing his studies on computer while sailing. If DD told me she was sailing around the world at 16, I would lock her in a room.
