<p>as above. 10 char</p>
<p>They can’t discriminate on the basis of gender, religion, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or age.</p>
<p>Well what age are you looking to enter?</p>
<p>I assume most of their freshman entry students are between the ages of 18-23 (with the majority being between 18-21 when they start).</p>
<p>I’m 17 right now (turning 18) and I know two '14-ers who turned 17 this year. They’re pretty loose with ages.</p>
<p>The oldest I’ve heard is a 65 year old was once accepted.</p>
<p>^ ■■■■■? Or truth? Links or it ain’t so.</p>
<p>The oldest person in my freshman class was about 28.</p>
<p>One of my D’s freshman roommates was 16 at the time.</p>
<p>Sit in on an information session with David Evans, he’ll tell you as such.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t know about accepting 65-year-olds, but I’ve taken classes with two different guys who looked to be in their 60’s. Harvard has a policy whereby you can take time off from your studies and come back later to finish your degree—any amount of time off.</p>
<p>On the other end of the spectrum, there were a couple of 16-year-olds in last year’s freshman class. That’s the youngest I’ve heard of.</p>
<p>Samuel Adams, 13. (enrolled)</p>
<p>William James Sidisset, 11. (enrolled)</p>
<p>Thomas Small, 89. (graduated)</p>
<p>Would like to bump this thread.</p>
<p>Why are you reviving this thread? What specific answer are you looking for?</p>
<p>In case someone could bring more input into unusual aged (either too young or too old) people’s applying.</p>
<p>Why??? Are you younger than 16 or older than 28? If not, what’s the point? Based upon your past posts, you are neither of those, so it’s pointless to revive this thread.</p>
<p>^^ As stated by previous posters, students as young as 14-15 have been admitted to Harvard and if you happen to take a leave of absence, Harvard lets you back in without reapplication, so students as old as 65 have taken classes along side 18 year olds. Not sure what is to be gained by reviving this thread. If you don’t have a specific question, don’t revive a thread!</p>
<p>^^@gibby, you said :"Are you younger than 16 or older than 28? If not, what’s the point? " - you are wrong to assume “If not”. It’s “If” case.</p>
<p>In years past, 14-15 year olds have applied to Harvard and have been accepted. What then is your question? How did they do it? They just applied! See:
