<p>lol well I did just turn 19. I skipped a grade, and I thought I was young…guess not! lol.</p>
<p>But then again, those of us on College Confidential are generally above the mean for transfers in terms of stats. haha I’m not surprised at all that we have a handful of teenage transfers!</p>
<p>btw I haven’t seen her post in this thread, but lenoradusk will be 15 when she starts in the fall.</p>
<p>I don’t think I’de want to be that young. Just thinking about what I was like at 15 and then thinking what it would be like to be in college. I guess if she likes thats good though.</p>
<p>DD will be a young applicant (16) when she applies. I was wondering, for those who have been admitted, how/whether you mentioned this in your college app? </p>
<p>I applied last year as a junior level transfer at 17 years of age, and was admitted to all the schools I applied to. I didn’t mention my age in my personal statements; rather, I tried to show that I possessed an equivalent amount of maturity and experience in my field of choice as, say, a 20 year old transfer applicant.</p>
<p>Thanks, I think I’m trying to figure out how to position it as a plus. She is mature for her age and is doing very well in school but then that would be true for most admitted students.</p>
