He was already studying advanced particle physics by the time he was in his teens, so he had already amassed some work that would go on to become his thesis by the time he entered college. Never got his undergrad degree, just the PhD from CalTech a year after he transferred there. Feynman was among his thesis committee, and it seem like he went on to have a close relationship with him.

Intellect obsessed parents pushing their kid.
Honestly, give any kid with an IQ of 120 a math and a physics professor as parents , make them push and teach him full time and he'll become a "savant kid genius". While 120 IQ is quite high, it implies that one kid in the average class room has this potential.

It makes you think how much potential goes to waste in our schools.

It's truly fucked up. Consider that back in the day, there were far fewer people - particularly ones who could afford any education - yet so many people from rich families turned out to be borderline "geniuses".
The education systems across the world aren't just incompetent, they're criminal.

Seriously though, finishing undergrad in under 3 years is literally illegal where I'm at.
