She finished high school a year or two early, wrapped up her BA in 3 years, while taking grad courses? I assume she didn't do her entire MA in 1 year, just getting in all the required classes would be rough. And I'm trying to make reasonable guesses about how she shortened the time.

If so, I suddenly tend to wonder if she's not far from wrong. That kind of schedule, you either get sucked into the counterculture at age 13-14, and probably don't emerge for a while, or you're vaguely aware of it from some question on a test. (Unless somebody wants to be freeper-like, assume she did nothing, and her B.A. stands for 'black and admitted'.) Doing drugs a couple of time in the early '70s hardly qualifies as "counterculture".
