Hi!
Ive been to these forums for a while and am now posting for the first time.
My question is for those who started at a younger age than 20 at a US medical school (not combined bachelor-MD programs, just the regular MD programs- after getting a bachelors degree)...How hard was it to get in?
My reason for asking is because I just turned 17 and am almost done with my bachelors degree and currently applying. How did others convey their maturity to the admission committees (during interviews) in order to compensate for being younger than the avg. applicant. I have an interview coming up
and have cold feet that they may find out and possibly question maturity because of a number.
Thanks in advance
PS. I have good academics and am involved in research and extracurriculars. I just worry that since the average medical student in the US is a little more experienced or educated than simple college graduates, getting a graduate degree would probably be the only way I can get in
even though I did well enough as an undergrad.
Am I overanalyzing this?
