Do Ivys really care about age?

<p>17? isn't it 18... and yea, ivy's do seem to care bout age... mit doesn't really tho</p>

<p>Well, 17/18 depending on what time of the year you're born. I'm a November baby ;)</p>

<p>I'm a November, too. ;) MIT doesn't? That's one of my first choices. Besides, cough, Harvard. </p>

<p>I'm going to a small, liberal arts, women-only college. Keyboarding is actually pretty easy for me, last time I checked I was a 150 WPM. :) But everything else tend to be... ugh. </p>

<p>Of course I wasn't expecting requirements to be easier. I was expecting them to be harder. </p>

<p>Well, I'm going to go ahead. Sorry 'bout your friend. She should have gone to an early entrance program. There're pretty good colleges offering them.</p>

<p>slipper, in response to your post, I really wouldn't know if in Kilini's case this would be true. I personally didn't even understand how college worked when I was 13, but then again, I've never met anyone who has been able to enter college at that age, so I'm not going to make a generalization about the absolute intellectual age of a thirteen-year-old. Kilini, your life as an undergrad will probably prove your maturity level. If I was in your place, I might even take a year or two off before either undergraduate or graduate study. It's the peer group issue that I think would be your biggest concern: which college are you going to be enrolled in, and is it a place like Simon's Rock, where you'd be among people closer to your age?</p>

<p>Mary Baldwin. Read all about my program here--<a href="http://mbc.edu/peg/index.asp"&gt;http://mbc.edu/peg/index.asp&lt;/a> All girls. I would have (I'd guess) around 60 peers anywhere from 13 to 18.</p>

<p>Kilini -- What college is this?</p>

<p>That's really interesting; thank you.</p>
