A guy in my class was 45. Retired Marine. He's a psychiatrist at the VA now
I think it was kind of hard for him

Any non-traditional ("older") medical students on here? What age did you start?

I wasn't one, but knew a few. Worked with one last week, 5 kids and around 40. Now a 4th year

If you’re a typical LDS applicant you’re likely non-traditional.

I feel that bit about the work expectations. Been around a lot of PA students…

Appreciate all the responses. Everyone thinks I’m crazy for starting at my age.

Hopefully you shadowed the heck out of surgeons and got some honest answers.
