Can you get into a good uni at 23 years old?

Indeed. Her age won't make a jot of difference. There was a 60 year old man on my degree course when I started. Not sure whether he stayed beyond first year but he was there at least. I'm currently applying for a different degree at age 26. They really don't (and legally can't) care.

Lol why even bother at that age. I'd just live on my pension and have an easy time.

She might stand a better chance at her age.

I got my offer for Cambridge age 24. If I had applied at 18 my chances of getting in would have been zero.

Only thing I will say is that the one year a level courses are pretty intensive. If she wants to get into a good uni then a lot of extra reading and studying outside the syllabus will also help. Rushing it risks getting lower grades and there is less time for extra reading.

What unis did apply to may i ask?

UCL, Edinburgh, RHUL, Aberdeen.

wow they are really good.....

i got rejected from edinburgh

did you have previous a levels at good grades?

I'm just so terribly sad that we seem to be living in a world where 23 is considered old.

hahaha sorry

just that all the tops uni's you kinda get the feeling you have to be 18 or 19 and have straight A's!

No, you can be a student at any age. It just distresses me to think that if my son, who is 23, is considered old (and he's the younger one!) it's time I went into a home.....

I wish I had gone to university when I was about 25. It was largely wasted on my 18-21 year old self.

I'm 23 and I'm going to Exeter in September. It's never too late to go to uni!
