<p>Wait, aren’t you a junior now? So you’ll be a senior next year? Or did I misread/forget. Haven’t been reading that closely. But if you’re used to being younger, I don’t see why not, except you have a wonderful opportunity to do amazing research, pursue community service, learn to fly, get work experience - basically, you have gap years built into your schedule, you might want to consider taking advantage of that. But if you’d be more comfortable continuing at a high-paced academic career, and you’re used to being with people older than you, going to college would probably be not a bad thing, though if you don’t get into the best schools, you might consider waiting and doing something amazing then reapplying, as I you have a great chance to practically ensure admission to great colleges, though nothing’s guaranteed.</p>
