Are you a medical student or aspiring medical student who applied to med school after the age of 40? If so, can you please share your experience with me. I'm applyint to D.O. school btw.
How old were you when you applied? Enrolled?
How many schools did you apply to and how many accepted you?
What were your stats - MCAT? Science GPA? Experience?
What do you find most challenging as a non-trad student?
What do you find is your biggest challenge as a non-trad student?
Have you secured a residency? What it difficult to do so given your age? Are the hours tougher on you than your younger counterparts?
Anything else you wish to share?
About me:
42 years old. Will be 44 when I apply. B.A. Philosophy Summa Cum Laude. Science pacing to be about 3.5. Have not taken MCAT. No medical experience. Extensive non profit experience. Also am a yoga instructor and yoga teacher trainer. Kids are raised. Husbands makes good money so finances will not be an issue.
I want to get in medicine to serve the underprivileged and help people. Yes, I want to make a living, but I am more interested in serving than I am in money/prestige.
