“I notice the age difference the most when my classmates are talking about a TV show and I won’t even know what they’re talking about. Or they’ll say some word that I guess used to be popular when they were younger, but I’m not 100 percent sure”
Haley Taylor Schlitz. Illustration: Lauren Tamaki This spring, Haley Taylor Schlitz applied to nine law schools and got into all of them. She’s also 16. Currently finishing her senior year at Texas Woman’s University, where she studies education, Schlitz will start law school at Southern Methodist University next month. She lives in Dallas with her mom, an ER doctor, her dad, who works in marketing, and her younger siblings, who are also academically advanced for their ages.
I did homeschooling from age 10 to 13, about three years. I was able to finish my high-school curriculum quickly because my mother determined my classes based on my abilities. After sixth grade, I told my parents I really wanted to do algebra, which was like three years ahead of where I was supposed to be. I tested into algebra, and then I taught myself geometry over the summer with the help of an online course. I skipped 7th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grades.
When I first started undergrad, I was not well-organized, which kept me from getting my work done. Now, I use lists to help and I have big whiteboards in my room so I can clearly see what I have to do each day.
