He was a sophmore so anywhere between 14 to 16 even were going by averages. Cora states shes 17 currently which is also the rough age of the group with allison being a year older than them. If going by the orginal statement of 10 years made in the first episode in which it would have been 11 by the time of visionary Scott and the group would have been between 6 and 8 years old. This is 1) way to damn early for Cora to have made her way to south america (btw they're talking about filming in mexico so i wonder if they are using the term south america as just a general term for spanish speaking country and use mexico or are they just using it as a location) also this contradicts stiles statement that Derek was only a few years older than them as it would make derek almost 10 years their senior. If it was 6 years ago as they've tried to retcon it, it would have made the kids around between 11 to 13, which given that Derek was probably either a junior or senior(Id personally go with senior as a mere one year doesnt seem to enough time to get over killing your ex gf and Kate stated that derek was in love with her) in the former it might make sense that Cora doesnt really remember being so young the later on the other hand is clearly old enough to know what was going on.

Less than a year has passed in the tw universe,so while 11 years would be approaching, it might not have happened yet. But they have definitely retcon de it to six years ago. Were we told that Derek was a sophomore? Because the only indication I remember of age was Peter's ambiguous 'not as young as we could've been, not as old as you'd think' comment. Set gave us high school, but I don't remember a grade or age. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that. If Derek were 14 when Paige died, that would put Cora at 8 then, and maybe 12 when the fire happened. Which is still too young to have made it to South America on her own, but explains her lack of a lot of info. What 12 year old cares whats going on outside themselves?
