I am 25 years old, and only 3 months into my Bachelors in Biology. Passionately, I still want to peruse to get into medical school. Am I getting too old to get in medical school? 🙁

Definitely wayyyyyy too old.

I'll be applying this year at 29 years old, 30 by the time I start (hopefully). Many others on SDN will be in the same age range (and older) than you when they apply.

Just accepted, and I'm turning 32 in April!

You're old enough to vote, drive, work, pay taxes, drink and fight and die for your country, so no, you're not too old for medical school.

3rd year in mid 40's, if that makes you feel any better. Actually, still early.

I was 28 before I started my biology classes; You are beating me by 3 yrs. You would've been my Senior Resident at this rate! I was worried about age too, but guess what? course work actually got easier, and people take you more seriously because you're older. Sure, I was a little more tired after evening lectures, but I don't need to go out drinking until 3am to have fun. I stay in, cook a sous-vide steak, enjoy a glass of Spanish red, and go to bed at a glorious 10pm on a $1000 mattress. (life lesson I learned in my 20's: don't skimp on your mattress, you spend 30% of your life on it).

Thank you all for giving me this little boost. I am 200% dedicated to this. This means a lot.

This reminds me of one of my first posts. I pretty much asked the same question, but I was 23.😛

28 now. Still not there, but much closer!

Good luck to you.

I'm 33, so no, you're not.

Good Lord, I hope not. Because I'm starting in August, shortly after I turn 40. 🙂
