[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know if college admissions takes this into account now that it is more common? My husband who was actually one of the youngest in his class with a summer birthday went to college on a division 1 athletic scholarship. Of course kids who are 19 months older will have a clear advantage when it comes time for college applications, both academically and for sports. We would never consider holding a kid back for sports however there is no question the advantage is there for the older kids. [/quote] There’s kids coming into college after a gap year, after a year or more of military service, as transfer students when some of their credits didn’t transfer ... so no, they don’t care about Larlo the freshman who turned 19 in May before freshman year started.
