[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have often heard parents, colleagues and neighbors talk about how their kids were able to shave off year or more in college. How does that happen? Is the kid exceptionally intelligent? Or is it an outcome of proper planning on what courses to take and when. 
I would love to hear some success stories and may be get some ideas of what courses to take and when. DD is starting high school this year at Lake Braddock.[/quote]

I did it 20 years ago. Took 6 AP classes during junior/senior year and 3 community college classes (during the summers). My senior year math was also 2 semesters dual enrollment through the CC. Got 5s on everything except a 4 in English lit. That plus one cc class my first summer in college bought me 3 semesters of credit so I graduated in 2.5 years.

It was a great choice financially, but it had a lot of implications otherwise. I was a first semester student (latest registration) trying to register for sophomore and jr classes. I had last pick of everything. I couldn’t study abroad because only fluffy gen Ed classes could be done there and I had skipped all of them. I had to declare a major during my 1st semester, I couldn’t change my mind multiple times like friends. I also graduated before any of my roommates who finished on time.

I don’t regret it, but there were certainly pluses and minuses.[/quote]
