Independent and international student

Yes @thumper1 that’s what I mean, Mit 25 years old freshman = 0.
Mit just received 1 transfer older than 25 years in 2018-2019.

The OP must check Common Data Set, of universities that accept 25 years older freshman.
Those universities normally don’t give full financial aid to internationals students.
