I was the only person out of 18 people in my MS program who came in directly from undergrad.

I went to law school at night from age 24 through 28.

Of course not. Right out of college is for those who couldn't get a real job.

No, I started at 26 and I would say I was on the young-middle end range for my class.
I think many graduate programs like to see a few years of work experience before you attend.

I graduated from my MBA program at 33. I was certainly not the oldest by a long stretch. My program did require work experience, so most folks in the program were 25-30.

Definitely not too late. My MBA program doesn't even accept students right out of college. Minimum of 2 years of work experience is required and 4-5 is better.

No. In my program there are plenty of people who took some time working before they started grad school. People start as old as 28.

Huh? No. You can even go to law or med school now if you want. Trust me, you have many many years ahead.

Everyone I know that went to grad school did it right after finishing undergrad. Thoughts?
