How old will you be when you start medicine?

Hey everyone!

Just a quick question, as I am in the second year of my nursing degree. Yet sometimes, I feel really old round all the 18 year olds...

Like the title says, how old will you be when you start or finish medical training?

Hi Britney

If I start the GEP in Sept 2009 I will be 27, so 32 when graduating. What about you?

Phew, thats a relief.

I am 22, will be 24 on acceptance. (Im an august baby ).

So will be 28/29 on finishing.

Some of the girls on my course are like 18 and I feel so way behind.

Lifes troubles caused me to drop out of my nursing, and restart it . I am now in my second year.

I thought to myself, medical school wont touch me if I dont complete this nursing degree! haha.

But least I know I wont be too old when I start medical school then, or qualify. xx
