Independent and international student

@International_Dad i don’t think this is a transfer student. I think this is a first time college freshman who is 25 years old.

Hoping the OP clarifies.

@EvyStelss are you a first time college student!

Are you even a competitive applicant for MIT where the vast vast majority of applicants do not get accepted?

Do you plan to apply to other colleges?

What about schools in your home country?
