I believe 16 should be the very youngest age to go to college. You can drive and your at that mental maturity where you should be able to handle things well. I think it’d be helpful if you told us your SAT I and II scores. My friend Steven goes to an extremely competitive asian public school in CA. and he said there’s a kid called Edward Huang? (i thnk that’s his name) who’s going to college this year at Berkeley at age 12. He was also an Intel Science Talent Search semifinalist (although ppl say he just piggy banked off of his dad who’s a research scientist). Go look him up in the Intel STS thread by searching age 12 or Huange… Anyway… point blank. he has 800 on the Chemistry, Physics, and MATH 2C SAT II’s but his SAT I was horrible because his english skills have not been developed yet at age 12. He finished taking AP Calculus BC at age 10 and took AP chemistry, physics, etc. too. However, he was rejected by all the top colleges and is currently going to Berkeley… in this case… had he been 17 (regular age) when applying to colleges… I have no doubt he would have done extremely well.
