I am not sure they should put much weight on it because of your age. I have seen some older adults in doctoral programs. My sister was 26 when she graduated with a Phd and I did see one or two in her class that were in their 50's |

One of my classmates is studying PhD in operation at her age around 50th. So your consideration should not be a big problem. Good Lucky! |
