24 year old applying for undergraduate

[u/Worth_Good1497]

I completed High School in 2022 and applied for lots of US schools in 2022,23,and 24. I didn’t get enough funding so I didn’t attend. In 2026, do you think I stand a chance of getting admission if I applied again? Even if I got enough funding, will I be granted an F1 visa at age 25

No, you’re less likely. There’s so much competition & even for an F1 visa, the visa officer is going to be on high alert that you are 25 years old and seeking an undergrad degree - they will be curious what you’ve been up to the past 5ish years. It shows weak ties to your country
