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.

I was 16 (a junior in high school) when I took my SATs/ACTs. I applied September/October for early admission the following year and was accepted (at 17 - a senior). I entered college at 18, but when in with AP credits and graduated a semester early at 21 (I would have been 22 if I graduated with everyone else in my class).

And here I am, 26, wondering where the Hell my time has gone!!
