HAHA Good one! I feel the same with some of our SHO's.
I think being older does have a bit of an advantage in placement because, and I can only speak for myself, but older students seem to have a little more confidence. Our consultants / registrars are very approachable and ask for all opinions including the students.

I do agree that being older is a bit of a disadvantage in the classroom tho.
