hey. I’m 16 right now but I will be 17 at the time of university entry. Does my age significantly reduce my chances of getting into upenn or another Ivy League school
As far as I know, they do not consider age. There are other students who skipped a grade also.
There are many kids entering college at 17. Do not worry!
Thanks
And there are many adults who started college young and lived to tell the tale. First congratulations. Second, it’s okay to take things a little slower whenever you feel the need. Several adults that I know who started in the Ivies young felt that while it was an okay experience, they would have gotten more out of their education if they were a little older. There’s no wrong choice here.
Consider taking a year or two off to do something other than school. Just think about it for a little while.
Also, if you decide to start college early have you also considered colleges designed for the younger students? Bard Simon’s Rock is one really good school like that.
