Average first year med student age is 23-24. Traditional med students are on the left side of the bell curve now.

You will have med school classmates in their 30's and 40's who have prior careers and children and mortgages.

Best of luck to you.

I will be 30 when I start and I probably look younger than you and can bench more than you, haha. In all seriousness, it does not matter at all and no one cares. Chillax

If you're applying after age 35-40, your age might start to be an issue for some adcoms. But in your mid twenties? Don't waste another second even thinking about it.
