I have not been on this forum for a long time simply because my son has graduated from college a couple of years ago. All I can say is that UChicago used to be THE college that would accept high school students at a very young age. Quite a few other colleges did not like the idea at all, but UChicago was renowned for its very different view concerning this subject. I repeat the words of my son’s high school councilor: “Chicago likes them young”. He was right and my son (by then your age) got in. Things may have changed though, but somehow it would surprise me.
