Same here, but I have... *goes to email account* 950 college emails from unwanted colleges alone.
I presume you're a senior, even though you're only 16? Did you skip a grade?
You, as a fellow adolescent, have conversed with me to a fair amount for over two weeks without commenting on my age! New record!
Yes, I am at the 0.3rd percentile concerning chronological age. There is one senior younger than me assuming he managed to fix the two F's three years ago. My age difference was a result of the homeschool, which was nicer and allowed for any pace.

YAAAAAY!! !! !! !! I WIN!! !! !! !! !! !! I'm so proud of myself!
...Wow. Maybe I should have tried that? Hmm. I also might have been able to skip a grade or two in elementary school, but since my family was busy trying to settle in Canada back then, they didn't think much of it. English was also a problem because I only began to learn it when I was seven. At that point, though, I was reading Chinese at a fifth-grade level, which unfortunately did not help in North American elementary schools.
I really don't look at the age of who I talk to much. What matters are their personality, knowledge, and interests. (Unless they're going through the same things as I am, for example, college applications.)

Skip a grade!?
Did you mean: sped through

Yes, I can see that. I've taken three online classes because of unavailability and schedule conflicts at school, and I loved the flexibility. So who teaches you when you're home-schooled? Do you take classes online too?
Hmm, online courses would be viable. That will make a nice down-time research project.
My mother used to teach me until it was mostly me repeatedly reading the textbooks. Unfortunately, I am now in a horrible school that does not respect my special interests. On the bright side, MIT's OCW allows me to obtain the equivalent of two years in college without the fees, attendance, (credit), years, and commitment. Perhaps I should try online courses while there still are some above my level.
A note of appreciation: Having these discussions increases my learning potential mainly because of the various options I would not have considered. I would like to thank you for providing that.

In any case, my school accepts only on-campus full-time credit. If the course is interesting enough, however, it will be worth learning anyway. 
G'night?
