Anyone graduated early and got into top schools?

Curse you search function. "Ignorance is bliss" strikes again.

My friends always told me that they are sure colleges are looking for uber smart kids and by graduating early you are proving how extremely precocious you are comparing to the other kids at high school.

Yet after reading people's advices, it's mostly the social problem that these early graduaters must face. "Best years of your life" or best semester of your life. Prom, ball, ya ya all that stuff.

However there is a general negative tone on the forum regarding early graduaters who applied for ivies for top 15s, since in their opinion or experiences that these kids mostly never made it instead they are in some community college.

I'd like to hear your opinion and especially if possible, your experience on this. Because due to some stupid carelessness on my counselors behalf, I am going to have enough credit as a graduating senior my next year.

My future is in your hand, CC. Well not really, but your opinion is extremely valuable.
