Working out when Saori was transferred, when she came back, and where she might have been when game events played out.
Saori: I'm actually two years older than you. I studied abroad, and took some time off from school.
Since 17 is the unanimous age for 2nd years, that would make her 19 in current game time.
There's no exact date for when Saori was transferred, but she gives a little hint in her first Sunday/Holiday date, when she and FeMC are eating out at Wild-Duck Burger.
Saori: I came to places like these fairly often until about middle school. I'd study with my friends there before exams.
This means Saori *did* have friends up until middle school. Her being the oldest student is what makes everyone interacting with her uncomfortable, so we can assume up 'til then she was the same age as her classmates. Meaning she was transferred abroad sometime in middle school. The "about" implies it was sometime in her first year, so she was likely 12-13, and 14-15 when she came back.
The game takes place in 2009, so subtract her age and you get 1990, her birth year. There's no official birthday for her otherwise.
1990 - Born
1999 - The Kirijo Lab incident (9 years old)
2003 - When she was transferred (13 years old)
2005 - Her return from abroad (15 years old)
2008 - Entering Gekkoukan High as a freshman (18 years old)
2009 - Game plot (19 years old)
So that's a rough outline.

CHARACTER SERIES: Persona 3 Portable
[OOC]
1). Backtagging: Yes.
2). Threadhopping: Yes, with permission.
3). Fourthwalling: Yes, with permission.She won't like being told she's not popular in fandom.
4). Offensive subjects: Hmmm, Saori's already gone through a ton of shit in her life. I don't think there's much of anything that would phase her concerning heavy subject matter.
[IC]
1). Hugging this character: Yes, she will appreciate it (more so if you're an established friend).
2). Kissing this character: Uh, she will smile and nod but be so unsure.
3). Flirting with this character: Depends. Saori can be oblivious to flirting, as she's more interested in making friends. If she realizes what you're doing she may shrink away from it, as she's already once had a reputation for stealing guys away. Nooot really something she wants to repeat again.
4). Punching this character: Why would you do that? :( If it's your character's nature to punch helpless girls go ahead. Saori has no fighting skills whatsoever so she will just take it.
6). Killing this character: Discuss it with me.
7). Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: She will not be happy if she finds this out, but go ahead :|b
[etc]
Her bad luck Arcana are: Sun, Empress, Judgement and Magician.

[Bing-bang bing-bong, the school bell rang.
Classes had ended, and with them dozens of students had left the school, either to go home or shopping. The only ones remaining were either those with extracurricular activities such as clubs and committees or were just studyholics.
Personally, Saori was glad to be on health committee. The work may have been hard, especially with the rumors that spread about nurse Edogawa had (she lost count of how many times she had to tell students she wasn't allowed to give out medicine.), and she still couldn't fit in with the other students. But even so, she would rather be here than at home. At least here she mattered somewhat, instead of being a mere obligation.
In fact, thinking back on it that may have been why she joined. The duty of a committee is to help people, both the school faculty and the students. Another thing, a committee can't run on just one person alone. To make it work it needed to be a team, to work together. For someone like her, it was a catch. Granted, the latter part still wasn't working out as planned. Too often she was still stuck with most of the duties. Not that it was the other committee members' fault! They were just always busy. At least Minako was nice. Sometimes she was busy too and couldn't come, but whenever she did she always did her duties with a smile. Not just that, she did them together with her, chatting with her, laughing with her. When Minako came, somehow Saori felt the day would be better.
Is this what it means to be friends? Saori didn't know for sure. But today was a committee meeting day. Saori hoped she would come.]
