There were freshmen as young as 15 when I was at MIT, but as I remember it, they generally had graduated from high school. It's not that unusual to be 17 when you start college, so if you've skipped a year or two you could easily be 15 when you get to MIT (and generally, it's also fairly possible to take some extra classes and finish high school a year or two early.) I mean, didn't you ever hear of Doogie Howser?
