Hi All,
Very inconsequential, random question. Does anyone know of a set-in-stone definition of what a non-traditional applicant is? I feel like I've looked all over the place and I can't find anything that explicitly states what qualifies someone as non-traditional for applications.
For example: I am two years out of college, where I majored in Biochem and had plans to get into the pharmaceutical industry. I've been working for the past few years in jobs that I was planning on using as leverage in order to get into Pharma. However, I had a change in heart after working in clinical research and have been prepping for med school apps for the 2018-2019 cycle. I will be 24 (turning 25) if I am offered an opportunity to matriculate in Fall 2019.
Would I be able to consider myself as non-traditional for my applications or do I not meet whatever guidelines I still haven't figured out?
