<p>A nice day to you!
Would you guys(experts) please tell me if age is a disadvantage if I am 19 when I apply?
thanks a lot!</p>
<p>i'm rather intrigued to hear the answer to this as well</p>
<p>as opposed to 25 or 50???? Or as opposed to 15?</p>
<p>I'm 19 now. Going to be 20 when heading to uni/college. I know a few who are to be slightly older! It's common, what with NS requirements and all that.</p>
<p>I've never heard of this being a problem. Are you taking a gap year by working or something? Actually, some people think that this shows a mature decision to go to college and makes applicants more attractive, if it has any effect.</p>
<p>I've had some discussions on CC about age at admissions time, but they were about people being a year younger. It doesn't seem to make any difference to adcoms if you are plus or minus a year from the norm. Sometimes it just comes down to what month your birthday is in and when your parents started you in kindergarden.</p>
<p>Your age is really not a factor if you are over 16 and under 50.</p>
