Ya, I agree. If it helps...
I am nearing six months into my transition, and while I am taking things slowly appearance-wise (despite my high dose of HRT), I have every intention of continuing my transition through college, and I am still in the process of enrolling.
As said, it would be a lot of time to wait, and the repercussions from waiting may be more and far worse than you think. Then again, if you don't suffer from high levels of dysphoria and feel you could wait it out with no problem, then that's certainly up to you. Personally speaking, I wouldn't wait.
