Hi. I'm 23, going to graduate this year from UofToronto in Chemistry and Physics. I entered college right after i graduated high school (19, would have been 17 but i screwed up). From what i have read about past scientist and doctors a like is that 20-23 years old entering med school is traditional.
For me its important since im the first person from my immediate family to be graduating from college let alone entering medical school, they are so proud of me. My concern is amongst my peers. I have heard many of them say that im much older ( even tho im only 1-3 years older).
My opinion is that im traditional but had a harder time getting to this point then usual. Do you think i'm a non-trad? Would me being one make my medical schooling harder ie: professors not taking an interest or having a harder time getting a residency?
I'm not worried but just curious to see what people who don't know me might think.
Thanks in advance
