How late can you apply for grad school?
Most schools have application deadlines from Oct. 31 to Jan. 15. But for rolling admissions, submitting early gives you an edge.
What age did you go to grad school?

Can you get a masters degree later in life?
Their study shows that 22\% of graduate students are over 40 years old; of this number, 14\% are between the ages of 40 and 50, while 8\% are older than 50 years old. These statistics show that whether you’re 40, 50 or even 60 years old, it’s never too late to advance your education.
