Yes, there is no age limit in the United States on the applicants to vet school. I know of one vet student that was over 50 when he started vet school - he had been in the military for 20 years and after he retired from the military he went back to school and was accepted to vet school.

Yes, although this is rare because relatively few adults over age 55 wish to complete three or four years of pre-requisite courses then another four years of veterinary school. There were several mature non-traditional students in my vet school while I was there, though, so there are some and it is possible. These individuals tend to be interesting and some of the best students due to their life experience.
