They are not allowed to ask or consider age in hiring determination as that would be age discrimination. My own class had a 57 year old who was not a flow through. While I have zero insight into the hiring department, overall I feel the company is compliant in both the letter and intent of the law. Based on this, I don't think your age will hurt you. Your lack of experience due to your age might be a detractor, but I'm pretty sure there are younger who have been hired.
