I applied to only one program, I understand my reasons, and if the question comes up at my interview, I feel my reasons will suffice. If I don't get in, I'm pretty happy at my current job and will just keep chuggin. Good luck!

Hello all, I am married with children, an older student (early 30s). I plan to be honest about myself and my situation @ my upcoming interview. Is there any reason to be more cautious? Thanks in advance.

Took it twice. First time, didn't study; second time, did study. My V stayed the same, but I raised my Q by 110 points! I don't plan to take it again - ever.

Totally agree. If accepted, I will be 32 when I start my PhD. That said, I already have a MA and 10+ years of work experience in my field. And I look young enough that most people assume I am still in my early- to mid-twenties, so no worries!
