Not getting a BA/BS before you're 21 doesn't mean that you're not smart/a high academic achiever. It just means that you're deferring education.
Also just graduating at 21 doesn't necessary make you academically excellent either. I graduated at 21 from a middle of the road university and no one would probably describe me as a great student. I got decent but not great grades and was way more focused on dancing than schoolwork and got my degree done in four years. So I would say graduating fast doesn't really mean anything. There are plenty of people who were way more academically brilliant than me but took longer to graduate. I think those people probably deserve more praise than someone like me who didn't really care and just wanted to get it over with as quick as possible.
