I used to work for a Y Combinator backed company as a full stack web dev when I was 15. I recently developed an iOS game as a weekend project. A few months ago I had a job offer from Twitter but they couldn't sponsor visa as I was under 18. Right now I am developing an iOS social dating app for a client. When I was around 9 - 10 years old, I started experimenting with linux which I very much enjoyed, so I decided to start a game hosting service that made me around $2k back then.<p>Now that the senior year of high school is approaching, I am starting to check out a few colleges. I really like Stanfords curriculum, so I am considering applying there. Any suggestions about any other university or college things I should keep in mind while applying to maximise my options?<p>You can find me on twitter: @kelvincobanaj, or email me at ping@kelvin.ninja.

Wow, you have achieved so much at such a young age.
College is very important and a great way to extend your network by meeting new people that share common interests as you. But it all depends on your goals and what you want to achieve.
