When I was 22 I applied and attended briefing however at briefing I was given what I seem to remember as grade 3 i.e. yeah you were alright, come back to main board in 6 months and see how you get on. In that time I got a decent job in civvy street so put the whole army thing on hold. At that time the limit for Sandhurst was 26. I've since discovered it's been raised to 28 years and 11 months and am considering applying.
I've been considering applying again as I've always kind of regretted not following through with main board (although at the time I don't think I was ready). I am 29 in 1 month almost to the day.

- Is there any chance of me being accepted at this age? By the time I apply again I will be over 28 years 11 months, probably by a couple of weeks if I get on with it.
- Is 29 too old to be at Sandhust?
- I presume I'll have to go through briefing/medicals again. No problem but just want to clarify that my previous application won't give me any extra advantage in terms of things I don't have to do again.
- How is COVID affecting applications/recruitment? (loaded question as I am wondering if delays due to COVID mean my age won't be an issue)
