A couple of notes on my situation:
- I'll be a minor (< 18 y/o) for this whole time period
- I have saved up a good amount of money from working this past year, so I'm okay on that front as long as I don't go crazy
- I've been accepted into a top-10 Computer Science program for admission this fall that doesn't let students defer for a whole year. I feel like I have a good shot at a top-5 or top-3 school if I apply again this fall (for admission next year). I don't necessarily want to go to college yet, but I also don't take being accepted there for granted.
- I'm located in the SF Bay Area
Cheers :)
