awash_ Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I took about two years off post-undergrad and so I'll be 23 when I start my program this fall and turning 24 in October. I'll be 28 when I finish thanks to the Peace Corps portion of my grad studies. Not ready to face my late 20s! Am I supposed to be functional by then?

Ashlée Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'll be 24 at the end of this month and am starting my first year of grad school straight out of undergrad. Although I was class of 2009 for high school, just took two years off before starting college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippyscientist Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) 23 for my MSc and (hopefully if application season goes well) 24 for my PhD. I had to think about that though because all my friends are older (late 20s), so I often forget I'm not!

Oh no! Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'll be 32 when I start the application process. I did almost 10 years in the Marine Corps, and I'm glad that I did; I was not mature enough for college when I came out of high school. That's to say nothing of my grades, which were not impressive. Now that I'm a little older, I really enjoy school on my terms and don't see it as a chore. avflinsch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingMavericks Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 So I was straight out of undergrad when I attended grad school in NY for the first time, so I was 22. There were only maybe 2 of us in that program who were right out of undergrad, the rest of them were 25 and older with most of them being in their late 20s/early 30s. For me, that program didn't end up being the right fit, so I didn't complete it. Then when I was 24 I started a different program in CA and most everybody in this program is around their mid 20s, with only a few sprinkled in there being younger or older. It's definitely heavily 24-26 year olds.Once I graduate from this program I'll hopefully be doing another program Fall 2016 So it'll be interesting to see the age range in MN or NC.
