[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Late 50s and in grad school at a research university generally considered just outside the Ivy Leagues.  Did well on the GRE.  With in-state, tuition, tax breaks, and a dirt cheap medical plan hundreds less than Obamacare, should cost $30k net for tbe whole thing vs. not going.

I am doing this to take my current career in a different direction while retaining what I have already been trained in.  I get a lot of great ideas from the courses that I have already applied.[/quote]

Thanks. Can you share anything further?  Did you take a prep course for the GRE or just study on your own?  Have you met any other students like yourself along the way? Do you actually make friends/work with with other grad students who are so much younger than you or are you rather isolated as a student?   Do you plan to go back to an old employer in a new position or have another position waiting for you, or will you be starting over looking cold?   Is this a funded phd program or are you paying your own way?  Any insights welcome.  Thanks. [/quote]
