Have you ever met/competed against kids from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology? It’s one of (if not the most) rigorous math/science secondary schools in the country. The students there are truly something else. Also, TJ ends up signing a lot of mutual agreements with local universities that allows students to get class credit at the university for courses they’ve taken in high school.

That being said, I know a girl who earned an associate’s degree alongside her high school diploma. She came to Berkeley as a first year and expects to graduate next year. That’s probably the closest I’ve seen to this one-year business without killing yourself with courses. If I had sustained a 20 unit courseload, I could have graduated at the end of last semester (my second year)…But my grades would be worse than what they are now ;)
