+1 I've seen so many good young people, and with a rule like this in place, even with bypasses and exceptions, probably won't feel wanted or accepted. For people talking about "maturity"... yeah, because a 14+ year old can't be immature, or childish. There's a reason that "interviews" exist, to determine a person's candidacy for whatever they're applying for. Sure, an immature person might be able to get past this interview, but that would be the same case for someone over the age limit.
