Thanks, NoRemorse for putting the 'Why' with the 'No'.

Bingo. There are NO waivers for age with no prior service. At this point, from what I'm hearing from others around the 'net, the Marines are pretty much ONLY taking those currently IN High School, for Delayed Entry contracts. GED's, criminal waivers, etc etc., are 'no go's' these days with little chance for entry.
Again, once you pass the 'magic' number of 28, if you have NO prior service in the military, you are NOT going to be age waivered.

Agreed. Especially since the Corps has already over-filled their quota, I don't ever seeing a chance to join. You might have some luck with the Army if you get 15 credit hours...but I would say the Marines are a no-go no matter what. Sorry man, but thanks for the interest in wanting to be a Marine.
