Dear all
Could you please give me your honest opinion? Am I at 55, too old for Medical School?
I always wanted to be a doctor, but becuse of my grades I could not enter medical school at the age of 19. So, I did the next best thing - that was to enter an alternative career and hope that one day I could get into medical school.
Before I knew it, 26 years had passsed and still the desire to be a doctor had never left me. I continued with my (alternative) career because it helped me support a family and put my child to university.
Now I am almost 'retired' and I had saved the money for medical school.
I wish to enrol in a medical school in Indonesia, but because I speak a smattering of Bahasa Indonesia, I need to enrol in an International curriculum where the teaching is in English.
I would appreciate it, if you could please give me your honest opinions. I would also be glad if medical students in Indonesia could give me some insights into the problems I may encounter if I wanted to study in Indonesia as a very matured (read: old) student.
Thank you and I await your feedback.
