<p>Hello everybody. I'm an italian 25 years old, I worked as a stage and independent movie actor, director and writer since I was 19 (no, I'm not so famous ^_^) and I'll probably start to work with some web editorial staff. But I really want to evolve my life starting a BA in humanities at Sapienza University of Rome (ranked 65 in QS humanities ranking) and maybe some courses offered by Edx or Coursera in order to take MA and PHD abroad, perhaps relying my experiences of works and life. I'll be 28/29 years the day I graduate, do you think that it could be too late to start an MA in a top university in US or Canada? If not, could you tell me if there's some scholarship of which I can use?
Thank You in advance </p>
<p>Many ‘older’ people attend college for a BA or MA or PhD. Under 30 will still be considered young.</p>
<p>There won’t be much financial aid for studying at a foreign school.</p>
<p>No, it won’t be too late age-wise. However, what @twoinanddone said is true - there will be little funding for an MA abroad, particularly in the humanities.</p>
<p>It is never too old to go back to school and do something productive with your brain. </p>
<p>No, but if you’re dead set on the US for a MA (or a PhD if you realize, as an undergrad, that a PhD really is what your career plans need) there are four things that are very important: grades, research experience, writing sample and GRE. </p>
<p>TOEFL is considered by many MA programs to be a “threshold” credential, that is, a credential where any additional point above some threshold will carry no value.</p>
