As a parent, I find it noteworthy that Evan didn’t enter college until he was 17.

I wonder if there is any record, anecdotal or otherwise, of accomplishments and distinguished careers among those who didn’t take 55. I mean, can the academic advisors say something like, “Look at Dr X. He washed out of 55 and went on to win the Fields.”
