[quote=Anonymous]In MD you were born on the cutoff day as it rolled back a month every year between 2003-2006.  I remember because my child was also a “window” baby born the day before the cutoff.  She has always gone to school with kids varying from just days older to a full year+ older.  Nearly all of her age cohorts started school the following year.  Sending her to college out of state under 18 actually meant a bunch of legal paperwork and health insurance issues.  Now in college the kids in her class come from states all over the country (and out of the country) and ages vary widely.  Her roommates in fact are 3 mos younger than her (from a state that had a Dec. cutoff) and nearly 3 years older (was on the upper end of her age range anyway, took a gap year, and then transferred losing some credits)  Her best friend though is two months older than her, yet is a year after her in school (parents held her based on a number of reasons) and is at a much more selective college and is more advanced and solid in her academics from that year of maturity.  It isn’t half the issue you are making it out to be.  Please seek help to manage your anxiety over this.  No one cares when your birthday is in college!!  They care what your grades are so if you are on the older side, spend more effort proving yourself academically.
