<p>I am friends with a student who has been doing NGO work for the last several years “saving the world” rather than going straight to college. She received a couple of credit at U of Toronto but was never enrolled full time. She is now looking to apply as a 22 year old to US universities.</p>
<p>Should she apply as a first-year, transfer student, or what? Which colleges offer programs that she could apply to?</p>
<p>It seems like the Eli Whitney Program at Yale fits this criteria but what other colleges have similar programs? On one hand, it almost seems like she should apply as a first-year student but it seems weird to require teacher reqs, a college counselor form, etc…</p>
<p>Please HELP!!!</p>
<p>PS I also posted this in a different area but I thought maybe it goes here too</p>
<p>She should apply as a first year student. By the way, I’m not at all sure if she’d be interested, but Smith has some good programs for the older, less-traditional student. They’d love someone who’s been saving the world :)</p>
<p>Piccolojunior lol but I don’t think that I fit the description.</p>
<p>If she is applying as a first year student, what does she do in terms of teacher recs, college counselor, grades, etc? I assume submit the grades from U of T and high school grades but is she expected to get recs from old HS teachers or profs or none?</p>
<p>Have her contact the schools and ask. Recent recommendations from her supervisors, managers or those she worked for would be a good addition, if not replacement, for teacher recs.</p>
