| This was the 90s but my big state university took my 3 APs and then I tested out of math and English requirements (it was testing done in a huge computer lab). I got math credits if I took one advanced level class. The English testing got me out of freshman writing and literature but I didn’t get credits. I was a freshman and graduated in 4 years (took two classes one summer) |

Everyone starts as a freshman. I skipped a year, I was never a junior.
My college teen is same, graduating this year but skipped being a junior. |

| Freshman. APs weren't accepted for credit (could only get you around intro class requirements), and there was no option to graduate in any fewer than four years. |

| Sophomore with AP and dual enrollment credits, got out of most intro classes, graduated in 3 plus a summer. If I had to do it over I would take 4 years and double major. |

And that’s fine, good for them! You just sound oddly jealous of their 16- year old selves. |

+1. My school district had limited APs. I took them but not the exams (were expensive and I didn’t feel like studying at the end of senior year.) Thankfully it did not affect my ability to gain admission to a top state school. |
