[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly OP, I don't even think admissions officers will care. What makes the news is 11 year olds going to college, or 16 year olds graduating and going to med school. A difference of a one year either way is not going to stand out.

The advice to not enroll early in college is more about student maturity, in terms of not getting into trouble once there (DUI, date rape, etc). It has no bearing on admissions.

Me again. Both my husband and myself went to college at 17. Our admissions outcome would probably have been the same as if neither of us had been accelerated. In terms of maturity, we were both nerdy introverts and didn't participate in drinking and partying, but then, that's our personalities and we wouldn't have done it at 18 either. I've never been drunk in my life. Never smoked, etc...

So you know your kid best, but really, this is probably a non-event, and will stay that way. In 20 years, no one's going to care either how old he was when he went to college.
