<p>Does the fact that I'm a 15 year old junior (born August 3, 1991) have a negative or positive impact on the admissions process? I have shown that I am capable of handling college level work.</p>
<p>it shouldn't hurt you at all if anything ir should help. My birthday is late too. Dec 31st...i know how you feel</p>
<p>I too, know how you feel. The worst thing about it is that no one really takes you seriously because you look a lot younger.</p>
<p>My youngest child's birthday is Dec. 31.
The good thing is, you can take a gapyear between h.s. and college and fit right in when you get there, age-wise, but have a great experience in between!</p>
<p>Hopefully, if you've proved that you can handle the work, it won't hurt at all.</p>
<p>I'm a senior, and am twenty days younger than you are. :)</p>
<p>can anyone explain a "gap year"? ive heard it used before.</p>
<p>It's just a break in between college and high school. ANd my birthday is also Sugust 3rd (I;m exactly a year older than you are). But unlike you, I'm going to graudate normallyed at 17.</p>
<p>i figured as much. thanks.</p>
<p>I am 14, and will turn 15 on Valentines Day, and yes, I am a Senior. I will soon find out if it pays off.</p>
<p>Usually 16 and a Senior is the cut off for most colleges.</p>
<p>The youngest College Grad at Harvard was Sirdis, he was 16.</p>
