<p>ick, i really hate age discrimination. even more so when it's your own peers.
esp. those guys who treat me like i'm a baby =p</p>
<p>There was a junior on my hall who turned 19 this year.</p>
<p>HEY, MINE TOO!! What are the chances of that :o</p>
<p>I'm 17 now, but will turn 18 by beginning of 06-07 school year for MIT</p>
<p>I'm 16 right now, but I'll be 17 by September!</p>
<p>LOL! A few months back I turned 17 (DOB: November 28, 1988).</p>
<p>I wouldn't let age hold you back a year.</p>
<p>Hey, I'm not ging to MIT but I'll be going to college next year at 16. And no, I don't feel young at all.</p>
<p>I'm 17, gonna turn 18 on November 15th. I never realized how many other young people there were in the US going to college at this age.</p>
<p>16, will probably turn 17 by the time I'd get to MIT.</p>
<p>ANyone here thinking of deferring a year during college? I might defer a year sometime in the next 4 years for mission work in some country.</p>
<p>probably? </p>
<p>what would prevent you from turning 17 by the time you get to MIT?</p>
<p>danielsjang, are you mormon?</p>
<p>nope. Protestant (nondenomination)
Is it custom for mormons to take a year off for missions at this age?</p>
<p>yeah, im friends with a lot of them. its required for the boys i think.</p>
<p>lol.....</p>
<p>i read moron for a second.......... =D</p>
<p>I love how it seems like younger kids do better in school. That seems to be represented in my class too. I guess that's just cause if you're smart you're not held back, but pushed foward.</p>
<p>And again, Mango, just say no to your mom. That's a ridiculous request. Seriously. What does she expect you to do? Work experiance? At Mickey D's? Stay around in your town with all your friends? OH WAIT! They're going to college.</p>
<p>"Stay around in your town with all your friends? OH WAIT! They're going to college."</p>
<p>funnily, most of my classmates /will/ be in town next year working at a place like Mickey D's.</p>
<p>Me: "I got into MIT and Ga Tech!!!!!"
Friend #1: "GA Tech, that's freakin awesome, congrats!!!!!!!!!"
Friend #2: "MIT... Michigan?"
Friend #3: "MIT... Maryland?"
Frience #4: "MIT... hmmm, isn't that a club, like the Girl Scouts-type?"</p>
<p>I'm not even kidding about those responses I got =/</p>
<p>^ haha, that's so true.<br>
For the more informed friends, they were immediately like "wow, congrats!" but for some: "oh cool! Your first choice? ...awesome!"</p>
<p>And for those people, I bring you my</a> second-favorite article ever in The Tech. :D</p>
<p>My favorite part:

Question 4: Is MIT hard?</p>
<p>Proper Answer: No, not at all. In fact, the entire place is made out of soft, pliable materials which make it easy to mold and redesign year after year.

<p>It's a quantum thing.</p>
<p>No, I just forget when MIT starts. I doubt it's before my birthday, though :)</p>
