[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated early, went to a top 15 and took a gap year - it made me realize how annoying many college freshman are, since I’d been working and doing my laundry, making my own food etc. and they could barely function! But in all seriousness, it was the best decision ever - high school was awful (and we did not have APs), I got to pursue something I loved, and I was a capable human as a freshman. The one thing I do remember vividly was a rejection from Stanford that specifically said “we do not take three year high school students for the class of XXXX”. [/quote]

Where did you live on your own as a minor?

Most colleges, especial top 15, don't even allow students to make their own food.

Becoming capable happens whenever you start to do things on your own, whether that is gap year, during  college, or summer in HS or college, or after college graduation.  Needing to do simple things earlier isn't a flex. [/quote]

Dormitories.

Back in the day, before gifted and talented programs, the smarter kids just skipped grades.  I spent the first 2 years of college in a dormitory with a cafeteria on the 1st floor.[/quote]
