What qualifies as a mature student?

How long do you need to be out of university before you qualify as a mature student?

I had the exact same question! According to the NOSM supplemental info in the OMSAS guide, it's "Applicants who are 25 years of age or older by the application deadline..."

Hey guys, I had the same question and called NOSM admissions. The only difference applying as a mature student is that you are allowed to apply with a 3 year degree rather than a 4 year degree. There is no enefit or detrement in applying as a mature student. It is only for those who have graduated with a 3 year degree. Hope that helps?

Good luck in your application!
