But really look into the colleges, read what they say, don’t rely on hearsay or other posters for the core info. Look into what “holistic admissions” means and try to get a sense of what really makes an applicant competitive, the sorts of breadth and depth, stretching (not only academically,) and the level of thinking and awareness.

In general, yes, 15 is very young. You may hear anecdotes of young folks who get into highly competitive colleges, but these are usually kids who’ve been ramped up for some time, somewhat rare in the level of their experiences and some independence.

But you have time.
