Just curious; how many of you all have been in undergrad, including postbac, retaking and working on classes to apply/reapply? I'm just already feeling OLD BALLS just thinking if I have more than 5yrs... Haha

Yeah man. Graduated a couple years ago and have just been working on improving my app, mcat, ec's, and bunch of other stuff. Def feeling old as well but I am damn happy I got to enjoy some more of my 20's because once they are over....they are over.

I've consistently read on SDN the Lamentations of the young 20-something's worried about "giving up their 20's" to pursue medicine. Well, I'm going to be giving up my 30's to do it. So there's that 🙂

My first semester of college was in 2001. I graduated with my bachelors in 2011. Now you tell ME who's feeling "old balls". View attachment 21491

2004-2010 was my first bachelor's lol. 2010-2012 was my second/PB.

I'm kicking myself every day for not investing more into my post-bacc.

I'm either going to be 35 and a doctor or just 35....same age either way!

My 20s were fantastic (and my early college gpa shows it ).

Yes! Same here 🙂 It feels so good knowing I got it out of my system. I think we are going to have this, among many other things, to our advantage.

Yes, there was moving and working and a foreign mission trip all in there too so I did a lot more than just go to school for 10 years. Lol
Besides, I wouldn't have chosen this exact profession in healthcare if I would have graduated earlier, so I'm glad it worked out how it did.
