<p>yeah, I wouldn’t go to college at 14…You’ll be visibly younger than the rest of the students, and even a mature 14-year-old is not going to be mature as the average 18-year-old at a top school. You won’t really date, because you won’t stop being “jail bait” until after you graduate! </p>
<p>I don’t know of any really young kids getting admitted to Yale…the youngest person I know turned 18 near the end of freshman year. There might be an odd person or two who starts at 16, but even that’s really awkward. I know, as a person who occasionally throws parties/holds social events, that I would be reluctant to invite someone a lot younger to come, because it could create a very uncomfortable/possibly illegal situation! </p>
<p>Seriously, social life is very important in college…if I were you I’d wait until you’re 16 or 17 to go, when the age difference won’t be as noticeable. There are some kids here who could’ve finished high school early but chose to take college classes/be homeschooled instead, so that they would enter college at a “normal” age…then they accelerated through college and took more advanced courses there!</p>
