University of Virginia Student Graduates in One Year
An anonymous reader writes "18-year-old David Banh of Annandale, VA recently graduated from the University of Virginia with a double major in Physics and Mathematics, and an education paid for almost entirely by scholarships. What's truly amazing is that he did it in one year, bringing in 72 Advanced Placement credits, then taking 23 credits his fall semester, 37 credits his spring semester and 3 credits in the summer. His brief undergraduate career didn't leave him much time to explore college, so he's now working on his master's degree. He says he may eventually pursue law school as a part-time student in hopes of becoming a patent lawyer."
Meanwhile, he had mastered bridge -- yes, the card game -- competed in tournaments all over and ran the school club, which doubled in size.
Yeah, the other guy in the bridge club was excited to finally get someone to play with.
Wow, they now have a whole new class of schools just for people taking performance enhancing drugs? Do you have to take them via IV, or are other ways acceptable too?

Apparently he didn't have enough time for a minor in female anatomy.
In a world of acronyms, the words are the real victims.
What a waste of a genius. A lawyer.
A Good Troll is better than a Bad Human.
Patent lawyer, no less. The kind of person who makes sure to cram as many patents into the system as fast as possible, regardless of their worth.
It's rare that you're presented with a knob whose only two positions are Make History and Flee Your Glorious Destiny.
I have noticed that more and more bright kids want to be lawyers or MBA's.
Maybe because they're bright enough to notice that those are the people who make the most money, while incurring the least risk?
