Is entering medical school at 24 too old?

[NewfieMike]

I thought most people retire from a career in medicine at 24

[n00b]

24 is pretty old

haha why's that

[Ninjaface]

I plan on entering next year, when I'll be 27. I don't feel like it's too old at all. I even bought a new pair of dentures so I'l look all spiffy for day 1. Saving up for the hairplugs...

[Jochi1543]

I'm gonna be entering at 24 if I get in this year, that's my 2nd attempt.

[Jochi1543]

Lol how is this even being debated....?

 

 

The median is the 50th percentile score where half will be above and half below.

 

? I thought median was the most often encountered #. I.e. the median for a combo of #s 3, 14, 7, 3, 2, 4 will be 3. Or is that the mode? I haven't touched on that since HS, lol.

[Octavius]

Mode = highest frequency.

[n00b]

this is really basic common knowledge c'mon

And let this be your last attempt Jochi...positive thoughts that you get accepted EVERYWHERE...

Thank you. I just want to be done my paramedic practicum at this point in time, it's ruining my life, lol.

Damned rights. You're far more articulate than I so if you can't interview your way to a seat I'm in trouble. BUt I'm not in trouble - I'm getting in.

We'll be classmates, it'll be great.

[Jochi1543]

We'll make beautiful babies who will carry the balding gene.

[terryann]

Good luck tommorrow..

...you are a unique med school applicant...I do not know of anyone who graduated from university then went on to be a paramedic...well, they cannot say that you do not have exposure...

Male pattern baldness is usually matrilineal, no? We should be fine.

[terryann]

Jochi...did you apply to the US...they seem to love love love exposure...

I applied last year, realized I couldn't afford it halfway through and stopped sending updates and secondaries. I might be able to get a loan next year, so I may apply this or next summer, but it's up in the air.

Heh, I'm not the only one, actually...leviathan from here was the trailblazer, he's at a Caribbean med school now. But thanks for the well-wishes.

I like the idea of being mid 20s and going to school (I'm 20), I think I'd still feel young no matter how old I was.

[n00b]

i wanna be young forever

[The Law]

Yo momma's a median.

[Alastriss]

I thought everyone knew this stuff... but between my two degrees I have taken 3.5 courses in Stats and methods begrudgingly lol. So maybe I'm too quick to assume.

Why bother? You're just going to get arthritis and cataracts before graduation and be left with a huge debt you can't repay since you can't work.
