If I have this figured out right, I'm the only one in my family that graduated when I was 18; everyone else was 17. (Except my brother-in-law; I'm guessing he was 18, but I'm not sure.)

How about the rest of you? If you've already graduated, or are planning to graduate (be it the near or distant future), how old were you or will you be?

I was 16 when I graduated from high school and 20 when I graduated from college (took two years off, so I was 26 when I graduated from medical school).

On another note, I am told a story of when my kidnergarden teacher came to visit me before I entered school, I was afraid of her, and wouldnt go near her, so they waited another year before sending me. That is why I was 18 when I graduated.

I guess it was a tough call, since my B-day was always the first day of school.

I'll have been 17 for 5 months when I graduate high school at the end of this week. You should see the look on some of the juniors faces when they realize they're older than me but I'm a grade up.

Yeah, it was kinda cool being the young one to graduate...kinda like getting a jump start on life. It used to really, really bother me--especially since I had to wait til I was a junior to even think about driving--but looking back it was alright. The bad part is I won't turn 18 in time to vote in the presidential election.

I was sixteen when I graduated from high school. That was quite an...um...experience. I took a year off after that, though, so now I'm with my age group now and having a great time.

ill be 17 when i graduate this saturday i cant wait im so excited!!!

I think I'll either be 16 or 17 when I graduate high school ^.^;; but that's in the FAR future ^_^

College isn't worth the trouble. Not for me anyway. ;^^x (I think you're talking about college)

Oh, no, wait, you're talking about high school! -.-x

Hmm...*thinks*...Ah, not worth thinking about. Not when I'm this tired... *yawn*

I'll be 17 and begin college in January '05.

Yeah, I'm 4 days off, I believe. So, because of 4 little days... I have to wait four years...

i'll be 18 when i graduate because my birthday is after the school year starts.

I was 18 when I graduated. I thought that was pretty much the standard...apparently I'm wrong. o.O Well, a lot of people are born in the summer right? I was born in the winter of '83, so I had my birthday before a lot of people in my class did. Well...whatever. o_O

I will be 19 when I graduate (less then a week till my birthday, next tuesday!! ).

Gosh, when I will be a freshmen in college, I will be 21 or 22 cause Im going to a small prep community college thing for a year or two.

I'll turn 18 less then a month before graduation in 'O5

I'll be 18 when I graduate high school and one of the older grads...my bday's in the middle of December, so when I'm in that awkward age group where I could qualify as one of the oldest freshmen or the youngest sophomore...

ill turn 18 like 12 days before graduation

Funny....I don't recall graduating from high school. We just don't use that term in my home country. We just say, we're done with high school. ^_^;;

Anyway, I was...

17 when I completed high school, and entered college.

19 when I transferred my college credits to U.S. and first stepped into American soil

21 when I received my B.S degree

23 if I complete my thesis this December, my M.S degree


No PhDs for me (EVER!!!) ....well, unless God thinks otherwise. An MBA or an associate degree in Arts or comic/animation-related maybe but that pretty much covers up all my graduations in my lifetime.

I was a bit old for my high school class. I was 19 when I graduated.

I was 16 1/2. Wow, there are other 16-year-old graduates. ^_^

16 when I graduated from high school. 20 when I'll be graduating with a bachelor's degree. And hopefully if all goes well, 22 when I graduate with a Master's degree abroad.

I was....17 when i graduated HS. I'm 18 almost 19...(less then two weeks ) and I'm in college getting a transfer degree.

I apologize for not being clear on that; I am indeed talking about high school graduation.

...I'll be 18, as my birthday is in January.

How did some of you guys graduate at 16? Were you ahead a year? That'd be like me going to college in 2 and a half years! O.O

In my case, I was homeschooled up until high school, and during that time I skipped 3rd grade. Plus, my birthday is in October, so I actually started high school at 12. It was fun at first because I had a lot of people watching out for me, but got really annoying later on when the age gap became more obvious.

Wow...you're all so smart ^_^

My case was kinda similiar...started school early at 4 so it was like skipping a grade, even though I had all 13 long years (especially that last one O.o) of education.
