Notable quotes form the article:
"Some of them have become the most desirable applicants," said David Muller, dean for medical education at Mount Sinai School of Medicine."
"Medical schools are accepting nontraditional students because "emotional intelligence is just as or more important than IQ," she said."
"The appeal of older medical students is that they generally seem accomplished, mature, grounded and disciplined, said Muller, a medical school educator.
"They didn't churn out of high school and college," he said. "They had time to think about it, process it and arrived at the position to be physicians or scientists."
My current boss sent me this after learning im in school, with the aim of Orthopedic Surgery.
Take away hope from this guys and gals. I certainly did.
