I’m Sri Lankan currently waiting for my SAT exams.In Sri Lanka you get to finish ur ALs only when ur 19 and even then the results takes 5 months to arrive.( I’m now 20 years old) do u think I’m too old to enjoy the social life there with the freshman students…(if I get in!!!)most of the students in the freshman class are in the range of 18 -19 I think…and il be 21 if do get in …
Not too old. Many nations have military enlistment requirements which typically delay university as well. Your problem is that you’re consider Harvard in the first place – a uni with infinitesimal admit rates for any international student.
An advantage to being more mature is being more sure of what you want. There will always be kids who took a year or two off. There will be upperclassmen your age. Go for it!
Thanks guys…:)))))))
I think it’ll be fine. Also nowadays it’s becoming increasingly common for people to defer their entry and take gap years (or even be forced to if they are z-listed).
