For what it's worth...
Age discrimination is only protected for employees over the age of 40. Wiki the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. Compass could set an arbitrary age of 23 or 39 and be within the bounds of the law, that's not good business though.
You exceed competitive minimums? That's really impressive for someone who is not 23! What kind of experience do you have? Do you have a degree?
Apply, it can't hurt.
If you get hired quit your whining...Compass has already exceeded it's whining quota.
