In hindsight I SO wish I would have done it. The only time I felt at a disadvantage AT ALL was in a few college classes my 1st year ONLY because my advisor put me in a few classes that were for 3rd & 4th year students that were in my area of study (based on my knowledge in that area from HS courses I had taken). Then I was in class at the age of 17 with others that were 20+. The prof and the other students were great..... no problems there whatsoever but I just felt I really was not ready for it even though I did just fine in the classes grade wise. I could have done better had I waited to taken one course in particular. That was the only time that being younger I feel made a difference. Throughout junior high and high school being a full year younger than most classmates did not bother me at all be it academics and was always somewhat bored with that area as I did not feel it was challanging at all (no such thing as AP back then) or maturity wise.

What private Kindergarten did you attend?

my daughters birthday is sept 5, 4 days after the cut off here in TX. However she tested above prek is there anyting I can do. I feel it's wrong that she'll loose a whole year because of a couple of days?

She won't be alone , and there is nothing you can do. Having a child in that situation , I can guaranty you that it was a big advantage to delay or rather keep them at the proper level.
