<p>No, again, something is being lost in the posts here, sorry. Our son started <em>graduate school</em> at MIT at age 14, not undergraduate school. He met with undergraduate MIT admissions at age 11, at the request of two mentors who contacted MIT undergraduate admissions about our son and after our son called their office to ask if he could meet with them, and MIT admissions seemed like they might very well admit him as a transfer student despite his age (not to live on campus, but with us in MA) and set us up to have dinner with a 17-year-old senior at MIT who started undergraduate school at MIT at age 14, but our family decided that for undergraduate school, all was going well at the local state U and to just stay the course, so to speak, for undergraduate school, so our son never even filled out the MIT transfer application (which caused us quite a bit of grief with the one mentor who felt our son should already be taking graduate courses at MIT and that we weren’t doing right by him to not have him at MIT already).</p>

<p>Again, not even necessarily the case. The friend of our son’s who started college at 11 was 6’3 at that time and ahead of the norm in physical development. The student who started at our son’s U as a transfer at age 14 (having started in another state first at age 11) also was tall and very mature looking and sounding from the day I first met him when he was 14. I’ve seen a number of early college kids who seem developmentally (physically, emotionally, socially) to be ahead of the average college student. But then, not all do. Our son didn’t look like a regular college student till he was 13; though he had a mustache at age 10, he was also a regular 10-year-old male’s height and underweight for his age and height at that age.</p>

<p>Hey, I’ve been repeating it till my fingers are sore rather than my throat here, but to no avail. 
Thanks for chiming in with my choir on that count, though.</p>
