How old were you when you got into med. school?

[averageperson]

Nothing more than just for my curiosity, and to compare to possible future plans for myself.

Edit: might be the wrong forum (probably not suited for the premed forum). If so, a staff member is free to move it. Sorry!

I was 25 when I was accepted for the first time...had to defer for a year due to illness....and was accepted for the 2nd time to my school now @ 26.

I was 21 when I was accepted, 22 when I started. Seems so young now...

I was 19 when I was accepted to Ross and waitlisted at a US allopathic school. But no acceptance. :-(
Maybe I'll have luck next cycle

 

[mvenus929]

22. I'll turn 23 about a month and a half after school starts.

who let the baby into the big kids' room? i got accepted at 22, will start at 22, this month

Starting at 28. If you want to see some really impressive ages, check out the Non-Trad forum. I'm a pimple-faced youngster compared to them.

day before my 28th birthday, but starting at 29 after deferring a year.

Interesting. I would be 23 1/2 if I do decide to go for medicine. Not feeling that bad about it anymore, lol.

Still interested to hear more feedback, though.

Same. If this cycle goes well I will be 21 when classes start. 22 pretty soon after start though.

 

[buddahbelly]

Applying at 21 and hopefully matriculating at 22.. fingers crossed!!

 

[MaryLennox]

accepted @ 26, now 27 and starting in a month

its funny, i could never quite put my finger on it- but now, seeing this thread, i realize that people whose viewpoints i agree with a lot tend to be the ones closer to my age! (ie ilikedrugs)

 

[DrYoda]

Accepted at 21. I was 22 when I started.

 

[latrala2300]

do ba/md programs count? if so, 16

but im just a normal pre-med now...hence on this forum

 

[metallica81788]

Applied at 20, accepted at 21

Will be 21 when orientation starts, but will be 22 when classes start

With the way my birthday falls it seems like this process took 2 years from start to finish.

 

[HockeyDr09]

23 accepted, and 24 when I start!

Accepted at 46, first time applying

I would have been 20 when I started if I had gotten in the first time I applied. I was 19 at my first interview.

But I think the extra two years did me a lot of good.

 

[silverhorse84]

I was accepted about a month before my 24th birthday. (so 23 when accepted, but well into 24 by the time school started).

 

[Pisiform]

Accepted at 19, matriculating @ 22

Right Now - 21

 

[nopressure]

will probably graduate when i'm 24 and start working at 25.
