Do Brown/other Ivy Leagues look at your age?

Your social maturity will be considered. I know that Yale will not admit anyone who does not turn at least 17 sometime during the freshman year. That being said, that applicant would have to be extraordinary among the extraordinary.

Most Ivy applicants meet their state minimums for graduation extremely early. But they also pursue the rigorous offerings of their school or nearby colleges. Having a HS diploma at 16 without exhausting your academic offerings – will lead you nowhere in terms of Ivy-type admissions.

Earlier you mentioned a very high GPA – that’s good but not solely sufficient.
