Hello Victor -You are a spring chicken compared to me - I am an ancient 46 years old - and going for Barts, UCL, GKT.......all the very best of luck to everybody on here. Que sera, sera - and in the words of Goethe - 'Whatever you can do, or dream you can.....begin it! Boldness has genius, power and magic in it - BEGIN IT NOW!'

Hi there from one coffin dodger to many more. I am NEARLY 35. Submitted my application on Sat. Got my UCAS acknowledgement via the postie today. Have applied for Kings and Barts GEP. Barts 5yr and Sheffield 5yr. Though lord only know how i will be able to pay the fees if i am one of the few lucky ones to get on a 5yr course!!!! I'd sell my body if it were worth a bob or two - hee hee

Thats a concern of most i think- theo whole fees thing. But i did hear that if your on the 5 year course you get a bursary for your 5th years tuition, regardless of any previous degrees. I may be wrong but thats what i heard

**bugsysmum** · 13-10-2005, 12:40 AM

Yes that is also what i read too. Trying not to get oo hung up on thinking how will i pay for it. Got to get an interview first and then pass. Not to mention the dreaded MSAT and being in the 101st percentile ( i know only joking!)
I am on jury service in Feb for two weeks - anyone any idea of how that will go down if i do get an interview around this time. I have heard many will not change your date??

If you have something like jury duty/ hopsital operation/ anything important then its not a problem. (i only know coz im having an operation in january and i was worried if i had my interviews then - thats if i get any, but i checked and anything like that they will change it for you)

I thought I'd be one of the older applicants at 31...

Good news for us all! My wife had a right hemicolectomy today (that's not the good news!), and her consultant says she knows loads of medical students in their 40's...
