I'm confused as to Dawn's continuity. If, as mentioned in "All the Way," Dawn was a high school freshman in season six (though I was pretty sure she was a freshman in season five as well), and season 8 takes place about 1.5 years after the end of season 7, shouldn't Dawn be a high school senior? Yet she's been able to attend Berkley, obtain a boyfriend, sleep with his roommate, become a thricewise, and drop out of school.
But maybe I'm just more concerned with the characters' educations than I should be. I'm still wondering whether Willow was able to graduate from UC—Sunnydale before the town imploded, and what she was even studying.
Perhaps the UC system allowed surviving students to transfer in and finish their degrees.
Matt: Bwah!
Maybe the school just really liked Dawn's Extracurriculars and took a GED and "life experience" as a bonus.
No to mention, Dawn did go from like 0(or infinity) to 16 in like a nanosecond.
Dawn's timeline (I think), we know she's 14 when she shows up:
Season 5 - Freshman in HS (Buffy has to go and tell her their mom died while she's in art class)
Season 6 - Sophmore in HS (first kiss and Sweet can't have her, she's only 15)
Season 7 - Junior in new SDHS
Season 8 (with 1.5 year gap) - finish off HS "off-screen", College freshman

SailAweigh: That timeline works really well, if you wank that when Dawn said she was a freshman in "All the Way," she was either lying or confused.

So much for my crap memory. Obviously, it's time to start rewatching before I've forgotten what's her face's name. You know, the one with the funny bump on her nose?

Or munging it up based on a three-year high school following a three year junior high! (Which was my assumption.)
