OK all you young pups... (30 indeed!) I was 38 when I started medical school. I finish residency in 1 year at the very young and hip age of 45! If I can do it in my 40's then anyone can!!!

Broken hip age?
*runs and hides*
Seriously, that's awesome.
Yeah, but as long as I can still get around with my wheeled walker I'll be fine.
submitted my AMCAS at 24, matriculating at 25
i thought that i had lost a lot of time in getting on with my career. "i won't be an MD until I'm 30? oh no!"
this thread is pretty incredible... has brought a lot of perspective
Isn't 25 the average age for matriculation?

28, starting post bac in a few weeks. Starting med school at 30 if I link (which is highly unlikely given the fact that the vast majority of people don't successfully do so), so probably will be 31.
Took a detour to work in federal politics for 6 1/2 years. Hoping I haven't lost too many IQ points since UG. (Okay, I know that's theoretically not supposed to happen, but I definitely feel slower than I was at 18-21).
I love this thread. i am 24 going to be 25 when matriculating. I keep going back and forth thinking i am too old (yes!! to old) to matriculate because by the time I finish ill be 29. this thread is deff. inspiring

Wow, I feel old. I will start medical school at 35 and finish my residency by 42 or so. Well, I am going to be 42 regradless, so might as well be 42 and enjoy what I'm doing or 42 and still teaching H.S. It could always be worse!

LOl Naw I think older students are more smarter than younger ones
I feel dumber but more wily, if that's possible.

Y'all are young'uns. I'm an MSI at the ripe old age of 39. Currently looking for a graveplot with a nice view of the river under a large elm tree,
I'm still beating y'all!

Took some time in a graduate program that led me back to medicine...
