[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]

Unless you have specific circumstance where you need to graduate quickly, it's not a good goal.
Good reasons include:

* 4 or 5 year accelerated masters degree at your undergrad institution 
* going to professional grad school (doctor, lawyer, business) where advanced undergrad study doesn't matter. 
* don't care about academics, but your career path requires a degree as an arbitrary barrier.

In other cases, using the 4th year to get a more complete college education is usually a better choice. 
Students who are so academically advanced that they complete a year of college in high school, are usually capable of completing advanced undergraduate course work that leads to intellectually/academically challenging careers, and shouldn't jump out of school early. [/quote]
