16-Year-Old Graduates From High School AND College In Same Week

Grace~

Bush attended Florida Atlantic University High School in Boca Raton where students are given the opportunity to dual enroll in college courses and earn credits for a higher degree, according to the Sun Sentinel.

“I started when I was 13 at Broward College and I also took my classes throughout the summer, so I was able to finish it before four years,” Bush, who received her degree from Florida Atlantic University, told CBS Miami.

Bush is one of nine children. Her two older siblings also received their college degrees early, but Bush’s mother, Gisela, said her daughter is a particularly quick learner.

Bush, who will soon start a master’s program, says she would eventually like to go to law school and then become chief justice of the United States.

6.4. I didn't know it went over 4.0 until I heard about her niece. Brilliant children are almost scary. That family is doing things right.

13. High school, yes. College, not so much.

AP courses are often weighted a point, or a fraction of a point higher, than non-AP courses in order to keep the possibility of a lower grade from discouraging good students from stretching to take them. Higher than 5.0 would be impossible on any scale I've seen - and I am not aware of colleges going above 4.0.

3. And...

...(She) says she would eventually like to go to law school and then become chief justice of the United States.

I hope she does just that... assuming there is such a position in existence when she's prepared to take it.

15. Grace Bush.....is made of pure awesome.

Yeah, I know that internet memes can be a bit overused, but I think what I did applies here; this is an AWESOME young lady with huge amounts of potential.

16. Let me play devils advocate

2 things come to mind. First, academics were only part of the college experience. The leaving home, being on your own for the first time, being immersed in a setting with your peers, a great period of growth, maturation, exploration, etc, that is done in a somewhat controlled setting. I wouldn't speed up or trade the college experience for anything.

Second, she'll kind of need to maintain this high reaching trajectory, which she may, but taking a year off or shifting gears while having Florida Atlantic university on her CV may not work in her favor.
