<p>Don’t take anything. Just come to college and enjoy the courses offered. Overpreparation will not get you anywhere. The level of the courses is different in college and, specifically, is different at Swarthmore. They expect a lot more of you and they also offer a lot more to you. </p>
<p>One example I could give you is this: my son took an intro course in Philosophy last semester where some kids seem to have read Nietzsche when they were in their mother’s womb. The professor did a quick job of telling them how wrong they were in their ‘readings of Nietzsche’. Apparently, some courses do require you to be more mature to understand things and being a child prodigy does not get you anywhere.</p>
