<p>I am currently a high school sophomore taking BC/Multivariable Calculus. I wanted to enroll at Stanford for Linear Algebra but I heard that there was an age requirement of 16. I am only 14 and I was wondering if there was a way that I could potentially bypass the age requirement.</p>
<p>Thanks for any answers!</p>
<p>You can take upper level math classes through Stanford’s EPGY online program, which is geared toward younger, gifted students.</p>
<p>You would need to apply and fulfill admission requirements (usually proof of testing).</p>
<p>I did not like the EPGY program, even though I am a student at the OHS. I would suggest taking a single course at the OHS, where there are no age requirements. You will probably have to take a placement test though.

<p>pfft. I’m surprised Stanford’s being that way. Actually, I’d be shocked if they didn’t have any actual matriculated students under 16 - they did 15 years ago [url=<a href=“http://news.stanford.edu/stanfordtoday/ed/9709/9709fea4.html]9709fea4.html[/url”>http://news.stanford.edu/stanfordtoday/ed/9709/9709fea4.html]9709fea4.html[/url</a>] and I’d bet they do now! Can you call the admissions department and ask if they have a high school relations office, or what to do for underage admissions?</p>
<p>Maybe it’s because they do have the EPGY and OHS. </p>
<p>You might consider other local schools. My son took classes at a local community college, so not the same as Stanford, when he was 11, and I know MANY other kids who have done the same.</p>
