If I were a person that accepted or rejected applicants to a school, the minute I saw the age of the person, I'd be less concerned with their high school education and more concerned with their life experience. Then again, I don't even know what a university application looks like, but I assume it's sorta like a job application where you have to tell them what your plan is and why you want to come to their school. True or not true?
You're required to produce official High School transcripts proving your completion of the required courses. If you are unable to do so, you can apply as a "Mature Student" but you are still required to prove your ability to meet the entrance requirements.

In my case, this means Math and English 30. I have no problem with the English side, but I don't have anywhere near the level of knowledge required to pass a 30-level entrance exam in Math.
