<p>I'm currently a senior in high school and 13 years old. How will my age effect my college decisions?</p>
<p>P.S.
I'm not a troll.</p>
<p>Whose decisions are you talking about?</p>
<p>All of the ivies and John Hopkins, Stanford, Duke, Caltech, and Georgia Tech.</p>
<p>John Hopkins isn’t a school, as far as I know.</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins University(JHU)</p>
<p>teacher recs will probably mean a lot</p>
<p>Thank you @RunningFreak</p>
<p>As far as I know, it shouldn’t affect your admissions negatively at all. If anything, it should help, as elite schools have so many highly qualified applicants that they’re looking for diversity in their student body (racial, economic, personal, etc.).</p>
<p>Well, from what I’ve witnessed (which is very limited), people who have graduated early don’t fare as well in college admissions. if you are very gifted(and not just a try hard) you should be fine though</p>
<p>If I were reviewing your application, I might look down upon your age because you probably wouldn’t work well with others in your environment, being too focused. Also the main goal of college is to prepare you (as well as educate) for the rest of your life. If most 18 year olds can’t figure out what they want to do then why will you? Also, I might not want to expose you to college where you probably would not thrive to better yourself and therefore lessening the purpose of my university. Although age isn’t everything, I think it could be a definite issue for you as you try to apply to colleges</p>
<p>engrgoddess, I assume you’re a high school student. :)</p>
<p>HBombJT, are your parents coming with you? Would you be living in on-campus graduate housing with them? Do you live within commuting distance to some of those schools? If not, where are your parents willing to relocate and would they be able to work from there? Were you in CTY (if so JHU is your best bet)?
(You would not be allowed to live in the dorms so you, your parents, and your counselors need to show a plan is in place so that your college classes take into account your intellectual development while other aspects of your development are also being taken care of).</p>
