No. A ton of dual degree trainees and non-trads graduate in that age range. I'll be around 35 when I finish since I was a former engineer before going back to school.

There are literally dozens of threads with this exact question. They all say the same thing: no.

No 31 isn't too old, got my Ph.D. first, worked came back to medical school and I'll graduate at 38.

No. Some of my all time best students have been in their 30s and 40s.

I STARTED medical school at 31, so no, I would say 31 is definitely not too old to graduate with an MD!

Wow amazing, great inspiration

I'm sorry but I have to keep rolling my eyes when posters think that being late 20's or early 30's are considered too old to start their career.

I'm 40, and I started medical school this week!

No, my #1 study buddy didn’t start until she was 39. My other friend started at 28. We have multiple second years in the 28-32 range. (I don’t know the first year class well yet).

I had a lady in my class in her 60s. Lots in 30s-40s including me.

Of course not.

Shouldn't you have thought about this before deciding to start medical school?
But to answer your question - no it isn't. I graduated at 32 myself.
