PThopeful25 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I would also be interested to know what is the average age of people applying. I will be turning 26 in November. Feel a bit older though because I am getting married this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kismet Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Like physio101 said, in general most will be 21 or 22. There will be a wide range within your class, from 21 to 40+, and everyone gets along really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheepE Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 What I think you'll find is that schools like Queens will have more "mature" students as they don't look at GPA alone. Meaning those who are older would have more experience in the rehab field than those who are younger, just graduated from university, with minimal experiences. Schools that solely base their acceptances on GPA would have "younger" students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT123_2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm 21. My friend who is a first year student in the UBC Van MOT program said that her program is about half 21-23 year olds coming straight from their UG degrees and the other half have a little more experience and can range from 24 all the way up to their forties like some have already said!
