How old is too old? I am now ending up my second year at a community college. Thus, I won't start my third year until next semester. I am now 28 and will be 29 before I matriculate to my 4-year undergrad school. Because of this I will be 31/32 when I apply to med school; that is if there are no tie-ups. I am married with 2 children. So chances are I won't be applying in exactly 2 years.
Is my age too old for medical school? (I obviously don't believe so) Is there a general consensus on how old is too old? I do know that there are 30+ y/o applying to med schools and getting in. Do the thirty-something's need to have stellar GPA's or other outstanding credentials in order to be accepted? Any thoughts? Thanks. P.S. I am aware of the Osteopathic option, but am not too keen on the whole manipulation thing.
