Graduate Applicant Ages

[Gman1990]

Hi. I hear that alot of Biomed Sci students go on to medicine at Aberdeen. Was just wondering if there were graduates from other walks of life (arts, etc.) Also what age were you wen u started?

[AbdnGradPL]

Hey Gman, I did psychology (which is kinda between arts/science), and I'm 23 this November..- starting 1st year medicine in 3 days

ok cool. that is how old I will be when I graduate from BMS.
I might bump into you at Aberdeen! From ur posts u seem like a really nice guy!
Are you from the area? I think I've bumped into you on other threads where uv sed u hav A levels... so maybe not lol

Haha, thanks I'm originally from Poland, and I did what they like to call 'A-level equivalents' here. Your first degree matters hugely, of course - with biomed science you'll be perfectly prepared to apply to med school - and as u said, we might bumb into each other in Forresterhill (if I don't fail within a year , that is )

Peace :P

dont think iv met u abergrad.

yea theres quite a few grads this yr and loadsa people from diff places etc. i kno someone who did a degree in history and such, but most tend to be science related. mine was also in psychology, theres alot of immunology and biochem. i think it would be hard if u havnt done some sort of science though.

If u're the one they like to call Amy, I think I may have seen u, elz :] Other than that, I met natamac, ruridh, eilidh, and was shown how tess-tickles looks like (however bizarre that sentence may sound :P )

We cannot be judgemental as future doctors, u know... but I admit I was in so much awe that I couldn't walk without bouncing into walls and lamp posts for the rest of the day. One of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences, I'd say
