    Congrats! Where will you be? I did my undergrad in Psychology at the University of Kentucky; the faculty there are some of the most solid people I have ever met.

    Just currious about your age. I thought you were well beyond schooling age. I know if I tried to go back I'd have a hard time with the time and disipline needed to study!

    Good luck to you.

    If I can do it, you can do it! I started Graduate school on my 40th while working 60-70 hours per week and dealing with the Z club. Actually appreciated it more than if I had immediately followed my undergrad. Yes, you do sacrifice, but for 2 years? Hardest part was finishing and suddenly dealing with freetime!



    Wingfeather...Good Luck!

    Good luck, that is ambitious of you to go back. I've often thought about going back for an MBA, but at this point I just don't think I have the time to make that kind of commitment, so hats off to you for doing so :)

    WOW, thanks for all the kind words guys!!! :)

    I'll be going to Capella. I can't justify quitting my career & going to school full time.

    Someone told me to apply to an ivy league anyway, and I could get a free ride? Something about doing free research & teaching in return for free tuition. I think I'll still do Capella first, then transfer at my liesure if that turns out to be true.

    I am about 50 mentally, 80 physically, but mid 30's chronologically. We shall see what challenges present themselves... I am no stranger to adversity!

    I would think that this is the MO for grad school. The teeny boppers are in undergrad, then stop once their free rides end.
