SGU, GPA, & Older

Is there a minimum GPA and MCAT they will accept?
I'm assuming I'd need to return to school and pickup Pre-med classes as it's been a number of years since I graduated. This would put me in my 50's. Will my age be a factor at that stage? I've always assumed that stateside schools wouldn't be favorable, even if I managed to nail a 3.4-3.5. ( not super high but good) with decent MCAT scores >28.0
If SGU does not view the older, "nontraditional" premed favorably, then are there other schools that do?
I welcome serious suggestion and comment

NIm is basically right. Age at some point is an issue, but there are always folks in their 40's around. And certainly some have gone in their 50's and 60's.
