I'm 22 rn, I dropped out my sophomore year to trade shitcoins and play poker mainly because I hated being at a shitty university, was very profitable and had friends that were pros and consequently got a big ego. Tldr got hacked and lost all my money now Ive been studying for the OSCP. If I get that would universities be more interested in me? I wanna go somewhere nice

During that time I learned how to operate cnc equipment and solder and stuff too for my family's business making high end microphones. Do universities look at this kind of stuff? I feel like a lesser person for not completing my degree.

Why not do more cryptocurrency and poker? It worked for you before. Do it again and this time don't get hacked.

I dont want that to be the focus of my life anymore. Its never certain, it doesn't provide value to people, and its very emotionally taxing. If I get the oscp money and job satisfaction won't be a worry so ill probably still do that. I mainly want to go back and finish my physics degree just for personal satisfaction and to be around college aged people and socialize.

Its never too late my guy.
Might not get into an ivy league but plenty of other colleges and universities that aren't bad are happy to have anyone who can pay tuition.
Maybe even go to a local community college to knock out some gen ed stuff/get an associate's degree just so you've got something more recent on a transcript.
When I was in school i remember this crusty old dude who retired early and was just auditing random courses he found interesting just to have something to do.

Whats the best you think I can reasonably shoot for? I really want to go somewhere respectable and I feel like I've gained valuable life experience that a lot of kids don't get

World's your oyster, and a crypto-gambler doesn't sound like someone who accepts institutional barriers. Get the training you need to do what you want, and get your foot into doors.
