Starting University at 22 will this be held against me?
I’ll be starting university at 22 due to having to drop out of school after my mother dying.
I’m hoping to get a job within financial services.
I will be going to Imperial College London, will the fact I’m behind the curve compared to others my age not make this a viable career for me.
Sorry to hear about your mother.
No, it will not change. There are a number of reasons why people go to college later than the 'regular' age (18). Personally, I know a good amount of people that went to college 'late' because they played college hockey - the average college hockey player in USA is ~21. The recruiting is the exact same, nothing changes.
Only thing that you might notice a difference is your work preference when you are graduating. At graduation, you'll be 26 and your classmates will be 22; they won't mind jumping into a 2-year analyst program working long hours every week because they'll only be 22-24 during it. Will you want to do that at 26-28? Obviously you can't answer that right now, but just sharing an experience I've noticed with some of my friends.
