U-Va.'s One-Year Wonder - washingtonpost.com Quote: David Banh, an 18-year-old from Annandale, just graduated from the University of Virginia in one year. With a double major.
His college education, almost entirely covered by a patchwork of scholarships, cost him about $200. And he sold back textbooks for more than that. Now he's starting graduate study at U-Va. with a research grant.
So at this point, he's technically running a profit.
...
Now he's a grad student. His research project, with fifth-year doctoral candidate Lorena Bociu, is on the stabilization of pressure in an acoustic chamber -- as if to reduce the noise in a music chamber or lower the pressure in an aircraft cabin -- and involves using mathematical equations to -- well, you get the idea.
He expects to finish his master's degree this academic year -- why wouldn't he?
Then a doctorate in math is possible (especially if he feels that he wants to stay in college).
More likely he'll go to law school.
