[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve heard respond to news that someone has or is graduating college early with things like “what’s the rush” and “this isn’t a race”. However, most of these students didn’t cram four years of college into three. Most of them graduated high school with a year of college credit due to AP credits and dual enrollment credits, and entered with sophomore status. Therefore, they only had three years of college left when they started college, and simply went at a normal pace.[/quote]

And top colleges don’t allow this because their intro chem and calc 1-3 are far and above more difficult than the AP versions or high school multivariable, so for those who repeat it is fine. A large percentage do not repeat, they start based on placement and skip over at least a couple of intros. They still do not finish early because these top schools have graduate level courses one can start as early as sophomore year. The end result is a much better education than 3 years at a mediocre college that lets you skip a year with AP credit. The top publics that allow it strongly discourage it in favor of higher levels and more time for research and internships, thus better to compete with elite grads for jobs or med school[/quote]
