Hi,

I'm wanting some info on older applicants in chemistry, possibly pharmaceutical career. Personally, I'm 34 and thinking about embarking on an MS in Chemistry and then a PhD in chemistry after that, perhaps. Getting into the MS Chem will be no prob since I can do that at my current University. However, I'm wondering what chances I would have at getting into a PhD chem program.

The funny thing is that due to age discrimination laws, nobody can outright deny you based on age. I presume if I called a university they would give me some politically correct answer, but I'm hoping to hear from any of you who follow this board some real info. Anybody, have a good take on this?
