I know I sound crazy...

but has anyone skipped undergrad? Or know of someone who has?
I know that even if it's been done before it'll be hard, but I'd like some opinion on how I might go about trying.

I really don't see how it would be possible at all.. maybe test out of freshman year courses, and then double up and get it done in 2 years.. if you're crazy studious. But at least in a US school I don't see it possible not to go at all.

There are some joint degree programs that let you get a BS/MS in about 5 years. I've also heard of people getting into law school without a degree, but I don't know if it is true.

I know of a guy with a business degree who did absolutely no science work, made a fortune, then wanted to design medical instruments when he was 50. He talked to the medical staff at [insert state university here] and they told him that if he started doing some research he'd probably get in their graduate program. Not exactly what you're looking for, but you may want to give it a shot.
