Appying as a Mature Student in New York?

So long as you haven’t gone to university elsewhere, you’ll apply as a freshman. If you have more than a certain number of credits, you’ll apply as a transfer.

Your age doesn’t matter, it’s the number of college (read, university) credits you have. More important is that you’re an international student. Every school’s website, under admissions, will have a special section for international applicants, explaining the process for you.

As for age 24 – at some schools, you’ll be one of the younger students in class!

In the US, there are a few programs for “mature students”, specifically, but in general, you’ll apply just like anyone else of any age. You’ll have 18 year olds in your classes, and also 65 year olds. Many schools do offer special residence halls for older students, if you’d like, so you can ask about that. There are also sometimes special scholarships, but because you’re Irish, you likely won’t qualify (because you’re international.)

As for good colleges in NY, here are some of the best:

– New York University

– Columbia University

Which are two of the top schools in the world.

Here are other strong schools:

– Manhattan College

– CUNY Hunter College

– CUNY Baruch

– Fordham University

And, if you’re willing to look outside NYC proper, also look at: Manhattanville College, Rutgers, Princeton, Drew University, SUNY Binghamton, Rensselaer Polytechnic, Yale, Hofstra, Syracuse, Cornell, Hamilton, Ithaca, and… there are a ton more, but these will get you started.

24 is not as “mature” as you may think. In my undergrad, grad school, and law school careers I have come across many excellent students of all ages and backgrounds. Generally I have found that the older students were a little more responsible and sometimes worked a little harder.

I don’t know anything about New York but if you are open to the challenges and opportunities of going on a new adventure, I doubt that your age will have much of an impact on your performance.

Best of luck.

omg particular! going to NYU is my suitable dream and precedence in existence. its particularly not person-friendly to get into and on the borderline of ivy league. for the reason which you’re from Dublin and are a mature pupil you do have an more suitable possibility of stepping into. they are exceptionally stable interior the humanities middle yet also have a stable Stern business enterprise college. particular, I easily have completed my examine as i’m not even close to the age of going to varsity yet.
