Questions for my Amerifriends...

[kellifer]

I swear these aren't for my SPN/HP story that I'm not writing because I have dozens of other things I should be writing.

*looks shifty*

So:

What age do you (approximately):-
- sit your SATs
- Apply for college
- Get accepted for college
- Are a senior in high school

I'm not really sure because in Australia people can be a year older/younger depending on when they started school and I also started thinking that maybe you guys get all your college stuff before you finish your senior year unlike us who apply after we get our results and then apply to Uni. I was always a little confused because it seemed like people had their college acceptances and were still going to classes?

ETA: Wow - you are all very awesome. I'm going to mem this as a reference for US school stuff because there is a *LOT* of info here.

SATs are generally spring of junior year (16/17).

Applying for college can span junior and senior year, but typically fall of senior year (16/17). Acceptance can come within a few weeks, but typically early spring of senior year (17/18). Some schools have early admission programs for spring semester sophomores, but it's much less common (and usually only for the super-bright/super program-focused kids).

Senior in high school is usually ages 17/18, depending on when your b'day falls.
