So funny thing. I was doing some research into the “non traditional” programs at the top schools. A handful have programs for people who have been outside of academic for some years, and allows them to earn the same undergrad degree. However the same gpa and test score requirements are all in place and you’re still being judged by who you were at 17/18. I suppose the main difference is instead of looking at involvement in things like sports, student organizations, volunteering, etc. it’s looking at work experience or membership in professional organizations. But at that point why not just have the apply as a normal undergrad?
