I'm pretty sure I couldn't have done it when I was in my early 20's. I was too irresponsible at the time. Though sometimes I feel like my brain is too old for vet school now, I'm still doing ok, and I feel like if I can make it through this next semester, then I'll be ok (I keep telling myself that after every semester!) I love my class though, and I don't ever feel excluded because of my age, some even seem to respect my opinions on things because of it. I would have liked to get accepted a few years ago, but I guess I'm glad I didn't because now my son is in college, so I don't feel guilty about missing things in his life now.
