To become a member of the FBI, you must be a United States citizen between twenty-three and thirty-seven years of age, meet stringent physical requirements, and hold at least a bachelor’s degree and in many cases more than that. The FBI has five entry programs: Law, Accounting, Science, Language, and Diversified, and each program has its own specific academic requirements. The application process is renowned for its rigor and thoroughness. In addition to giving each applicant difficult written tests and interviews, the FBI conducts intensive background checks including criminal record checks; credit checks; interviews with associates, roommates and landlords; professional references; and academic verifications. Each candidate takes a drug test, physical exam and, at the discretion of the FBI, a polygraph (lie detector) test. After making it through this microscopic examination, new agents spend four months at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, studying investigative techniques, personal defense, and firearms. The FBI will disqualify any candidate who has physical or emotional handicaps that will not allow him to perform important and dangerous duties within acceptable parameters.

I think so, I'd recommend calling your field office.
And after you send in your app a month or more. So then you'll take Phase 1, then either PFT or Phase 2, then PFT or Phase 2, then Background investigation, physical, poly. The whole process at best will take a year at least, or you could be in it for multiple years. FBI is a comittment.
