Mature student

[nuki9]

Does anyone know what the advantages are of applying as a mature student? Are there better chances of getting in if one applies as a mature student? I qualify as a mature student but I ran out of time to answer the last question on the application so I'm wondering if I would have been better off to answer it.

I called NOSM to ask about the mature applicant category, and I was told that essentially it exists for those who graduated with a 3 year as opposed to 4 year degree and who are over age 25. In terms of getting in, what I understood from the admissions coordinator was that there is no difference between mature applicant and 'regular' applicant streams.

Hope that helps to answer your question...
