ok...so I didn't get into any schools this year. It was always going to be a crapshoot as my stats are not out-of-this-world like most SDNers (18AA, 17PAT, 3.3 cGPA, 3.7 sGPA...).
Now, my problem is that I already felt like Old-Man-River, applying to DS at 27, which means I would have been starting DS at 28. Not getting in this year means if I were to apply again next year, I'd be shooting to start DS at 29 (jeez...now I feel like Methuselah).
I'm not even sure what I'm asking for really...I guess I'm curious if there are a lot of "older" applicants (I think I was the oldest at my 2 interviews this year) that get accepted? does it help/hurt your chances? are there any that applied/started/finished DS at, say, in their 30s and what were your experiences like?
