Hi, i hope to get some responses from those of you that made it to the program. I am 29 & starting out my bio classes. Im worried though that maybe im being to unrealisitic. I realize im a late bloomer. What do you guys think at this point. My situation. 29, no children or husband. Living at home with parents while attending a community college then planned to transfer to school of acceptance. What do you think really? Whats the chance of entry to a program "of your choice"? thanks
Hey kids!
After reading some of the posts I've concluded I can't call everyone in the place that, but I like the way it sounds...
I got in when I was 31... Already had a graduate degree... Quite a few in my class are "mature" students as well... A real mix with a few Doogie Howser's (18-year-olds) thrown in... It did seem like a huge thing to be undertaking at such an advanced age, but I've been loving it so far... The first year went by in a flash; the people in my class and those running the program are all so much friendlier and supportive than I'd ever encountered in basic science.
The first year community pharmacy rotation was so much fun that I didn't want it to end. I just loved the social aspect with all the human interaction. So many little things that you can do to improve the quality of life for so many people. And the physicians with whom I interacted were genuinely appreciative of my efforts.
I found it all very satisfying.
Anyway... That's my inspirational story...
"You're younger than you realize..." Ha ha... Another quote from the same song that I used for my sig... Neat! But appropriate in this case...
Follow your instincts and follow them hard...
Best of luck!
