[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Way back in the cave days, I applied early decision to a SLAC as a 16 year old senior. I found out I got in just after my 17th birthday in December. I entered college as a 17 year old and turned 18 a few months into my freshman year. It was totally fine. [/quote] Similar for me, my birthday is in November so I turned 18 in Nov of freshman year of college. And I was in the middle of the age range of my graduating class at my NWDC private HS. One friend didn’t turn 17 until late May of our senior year, so they were 17 for all of the college freshman year. They did fine. But if a kid skews a little toward the socially immature side, taking a gap year might be a good thing. Better to do that with college acceptance in hand and then defer, though. Much easier to apply as a senior than after you’ve left HS. [/quote]
