Although with people who are older who apply, for example over 45 yrs old, it most likely will be more difficult for them to get into Vet school than if they were 25 years old. I say this because I know some people on admissions and although Vet schools will probably not say outright that their age in the reason they weren't accepted, the older a person is can be a negative then when it comes down to an acceptance. If they are that much older like in their 50s, they could be turned down because they will not be in practice that long (because by the time they graduate they'll be about 57 years old and only practice for 15-20 years. In their minds that seat could be used for someone younger who will practice for 50-60 years. This is coming straight from people who have been on the interview committee for several schools who I know that have said this (not myself)! So they also said that if that person IS older who is applying, they should have a lot to show such as a Bachelor's degree, Master's degree (several), and good life experience and jobs, as well as vet experience. Again this is not at all to deter anyone, and I do not care personally what age anyone is who tries to become a Vet (more power to them if they decide they would love to do it)!
