The "6 year" graduation rate

@Jamrock411 that is really an impressive program and some of their alumni have leveraged this into some really great college acceptances and/or accelerated programs (they have profiled some including one student who went to MIT and only needed 2 years to get his BS). Looks like they would have bio, chem, calc1-3, and physics out of the way. This would be a really difficult program for most 16 year olds (it challenges a lot of smart 18 year olds).

Obviously a state run program would have the best transfer odds and also the best correlation from CC content to 4yr school content.

The 5 year engineering program seems to have disappeared sometime in the 80s …

I also had two friends in a small high school who graduated high school early and went to Ivy League schools, but I don’t think this is possible anymore.

Remedial has a lot of different meanings and current educational thinking (try google searches) seems to be eliminating the remedial courses which lead to poor graduation rates and replacing them with a lot of tutoring and enhanced courses. One semester of MAT100 seems a bit controversial here on CC, but is likely a much needed idea for anyone whose high school math was not well taught and like for others. MIT has an impressive 4 year completion rate.
