He's 19 on Dec. 2nd, 2012, so yes, 18 when he was applying...is that the usual age in America? I actually just don't know. In the province I grew up in the current norm is to be 17 while applying to college and 18 during freshman year. (Personally, I think this is too young - but it's legitimately the norm now).
Because of the time-skip, Kevin is both 19 during his year on the run and turning 19 this December. :P
I think the problem with the name Amelia is that I like to shorten it to "Amy" in my head, so therefore it feels like there's been more of them. :P Also, both Amelia Novak and Amelia Richardson are arguably important characters, so I kind of wish they had gotten more distinct names (I know we only see Amelia Novak once, but still, she's Jimmy's WIFE.)
