There is no specific age limit for undergraduate study in the United States, but there is a well-known clause that the age limit for undergraduate study in the United States is that the applicant is 18 years old or older. It is suggested that the maximum age should not exceed 30, because the chances of successful admission and face-to-face signing are very small, and the school will also consider whether the students are at the best learning age.

There is no age limit for studying in the United States at the postgraduate stage, but it is generally a junior and a senior. It is suggested that the maximum application age should not exceed 35 years old. At the age of 35, the interviewer will have doubts when examining the visa. If you are a graduate student in law and medicine, the application age will be relaxed appropriately, because many professional academic systems in American medical schools and law schools are relatively long.
