Would prestigious universities (Ivy League, MIT, Stanford, Cambridge, Oxford) accept older (non-traditional age 29 & up) American students who have attained very good (GPA 3.7) to superior (4.0) GPA straight from public university after years of diligent study & academic skill retaining plus prerequisite ACT or SAT to be admitted as graduates or transfer in the "third or fourth" year?
Does it depend on the strictly rigorous admission policy of each educational institution that may require evidence of volunteering and extracurricular activities common among traditional students?
I am interested in RIT or Columbia University as a "future graduate student" who have rebound from flunking out high school (passed GED in '97 but barely) and transfer to a state public university from community college after 3-6 years (student alternating between PT & FT depending on family, jobs & economic sustainability).
