[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a girl who turned 15 in March of 8th grade in my dd's class - she was way more mature and academically advanced than most of the kids in 8th- I'm sure she's going to love being still in High School at 19...[/quote] She is not more mature or advanced just older. [/quote] But teachers and colleges don't view it that way. No college is going to look at an 18-year-old's application and go "Well, I know this student is the most qualified candidate, but they're also a year older than the other applicants. If they were in their age appropriate cohort, they probably wouldn't be the top applicant."[/quote] On time college applicants born between the day after cut off (e.b. Oct 1) and the date the application is submitted are 18. They are in their age appropriate cohort.[/quote]
