Does anybody know why the average starting age for a medschool student at WVSOM is 27, and why the acceptance rate is 21%??? this is really strange and hard to believe for me...

The average starting age at OSU-COM is 25. It's not that far off.

My class had an age range of 20-41.

the average starting age at lecom-erie is about 26 i believe . . . DO schools traditionally have more non-trad students, so that shouldn't be that surprising.
