I just want to know chances of getting into dental schools for old applicants such as late 20's.
Are they considerably slimmer than the traditional applicants(early 20's)?
Are old applicants successful in gaining admission to good dental schools such as Columbia and Penn?

Any personal experiences or any inputs would be appreciated.
