Hi all!

I'll be 17 in January next year, I'm wondering whether my age is qualified to apply to any US' colleges or universities?
I'm graduating with GCE O level certificate this year^^

There is no age in which you're allowed to apply, as long as you have the schooling and the standardized test scores you can apply.
Make sure to take the SAT or ACT if you're planning on applying to a college in the US.

Age doesn't matter =D
I'm graduating from High School this year and I'm a 94-er. Heh. I contacted all the universities just to make sure though. Out of the dozen I asked there was only one that wouldn't accept anyone born after the year 92 .... So....\

Good luck~

as long as you pass the GED, it doesn't matter how old you are really. my friend graduated at the age of 15 and enrolled into University of Pennsylvania at the age of 16. smart guy, but had no luck with girls. haha... sucks =T

No. My friend took all her required HS courses in two years and went into USC at 16.

Wow there's so many smart people here! T_T
To add to that, at my college, there was a kid who was like 11 in a math class down the hall from me (upper division too!).
