Hello guys,
I know that is kind of strange question, but the reason I am asking it because I am 28 years old and I just started studying for NBDE I, and i cant help but thinking like i am starting late. I know that is not a positive way of thinking and it should be like it's never too late, but the thing I moved her to the States recently and I have all my life on hold till I achieve some progress (I mean no wife no family no.........).What do you think guys, is it kind of late ?

P.S. If you are going to give me cold-hearted reply, please spare it .

Thank You

go for it!👍😉
 
I had the same feeliing last year when I was taking boards at 27, but when I went for interviews and met other advanced standing applicants I realized that its quite normal, so keep it up you are right on time as with your experience if you do well on NBDE you would be easily IN.

Born in '79 + No family + no kids = Party every night :banana:
I moved to the States about a year ago, and had the same doubts and concerns. You're in the right path, looking forward to the brightest horizons, so, no worries. We've got plenty of time for whatever your might imagine.

Hello newdentist79,

I am a first year at Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara and I just turned 30. I am from California and I will not be applying (and God willing, beginning) my IDP until I am 34 and finishing when I am 36. So my advice to you is that you have all the time in the world and age is really not a factor! Perseverance is what it is all about and not giving up on your dream. Good Luck!
