Guest Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) was 22 when i started, am 24 now that im finishing up. basically said fuck it and did a european masters to get some travel and put something good on my resume. its been a crazy experience. i'll be starting my phd this summer and im excited to finally be back in the states I don't know what stopped me from applying to schools in England and Canada. I have an American based school in Egypt that I am waiting to hear back from though. I will pretty much be saying fuck it as well if they give me funding. The international and language experience would be a plus from that. None of my American schools have offered me anything, despite getting accepted. Edited March 14, 2015 by Guest
twentysix Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) 26. I went part time for a big portion of my undergrad and I am graduating with 2 degrees (BA and BS). I'd like to take a year off between MA and PhD, so I will be 28-29 going into my PhD. Edited March 14, 2015 by twentysix
adepaola21 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I was 22 when I started my Masters, and I'll be 24 when I start my PhD in the fall!
psychgal123 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I am 21 and starting my PhD this fall straight out of undergrad. I am honestly terrified that I'll be way younger than everyone else in my cohort and that i'll be struggling socially (or academically, for that matter).
_kita Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) I started my M.A. When I was 24. Worked in the field from 2009-2013. If all goes well, I'll be starting a Ph.D. program when I'm 27. As for those worried about the age problem, there's a wide age variation. *most* people have little to no problems with it and will judge you off of your work instead. If they do not respect you for the work you are doing, then associate yourself with others in the cohort. I'm sure you will find someone who matches your style better.

CDNTrish Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 26 when I start in the fall. I mostly applied to professional programs (MPA/MPP) and most required 2-3 years of work experience. I've worked in an international nonprofit for 2.5 years, and will have 3 years of work experience when I start.
RabbitKM Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I'll be 21 (almost 22) when I start in the Fall.
Merlin Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I'll be 20 when I start my M.S., turning 21 soon thereafter.
Sword_Saint Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Starting Masters at 24 in the fall. I'll have it completed by the time I'm 25. Assuming I go on to complete a PhD at the same institution, will be 28 or 29 by the time that is over [crossing fingers].
nicoleraychelle Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 So I am going for my second Masters. I was 27 when I did my first program, I will be 29 in my second :-)
amg1322 Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I will be 26 when I hopefully enroll for Fall 2016
coggiedoggie Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I was 39 when I started my MA. Crucial BBQ 1
Cali_Coast Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Like a previous poster said, I'll be dirty thirty going into the MSW program, 32 when done. Spent most my 20's working full-time, school part-time plus took time off after high school and a year each between A.A., B.A.'s and now MSW.
shinigamiasuka Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 22 when I start, turning 23 this December. Finished undergrad in September last year.
Klonoa Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 I'll be starting my M.S. this Fall semester at the age of 27. I feel very old now due to the fact that I can not stay up the way I used to when I was working on my A.A. in my late teens and very early 20s. As I get older I have found myself thinking more about marriage, buying a house, and career... basically settling, and just hope I can keep my mind focused completely on my academic career.
EddieRue Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 I'll be 21 when I start my MA (or MS, depending on which program I get in) next fall.
