They might also infer you to be over the age of 40 if you have a newer medical. I should also add that they ask you mark out your date of birth on all documents before the interview. It is just a simple step to make sure everyone has a level playing field. Also note, it is not required to be less than 6 months old to be selected for the interview. Just needs to be less than 6 months old when you interview.
lets be real with this. why all the secrecy about age. they can easily tell your age simply by looking at your education history. High school graduation and or college. It really is not hard. we can cover all the dates on medical and licenses and it really means nothing. I am in this class by the way. Interviewed December 18th.
