I have noticed that most of the people active on this board are either currently undergraduates or they graduated only a few years ago. I'm almost 30 and finished my undergrad degree 7 years ago. I'm taking a few undergraduate classes and looking to gain some research experience. Still, it may take me some time before I'm prepared to even start applying to grad school.
Am I too old to be starting down this career path?
How might starting now affect my prospects, not only when applying to schools, but while a student and beyond?
