    I guess it depends on what you mean as 'oldies' - I'll be 37 if I get in...

    I am sure there are more over 30's

    the audiologist bit is a complicated one... I was starting an MSc but the first research proposal didn't meet the requirements of the degree i.e. it wasn't technology based enough as it was supposed to be in technology mgt!
    So, after a look around, I found a PG Dip/MSc audiology which lasts a year and would be really good to take; filling in this year. If I don't get in to med, I either apply for a clinical scientist job in audiology or take advantage of a paid placement year after which I will be an audiologist.

    medicine is all I want to do, as you can see by the 3rd time lucky bit, but as I'm sure you'll understand, I need a credible back up which can add to my experience too. There are a couple of overseas doctors on my course, and a real variety of people.

    I left IT 2 years ago and know I could always go back, but that would be the safe easy option - and wouldn't get me to where I want to be.

    It would be good to hear from anyone in their forties getting into med school. I know Gaby did and is doing brilliantly.

    How old are you GM btw ?

    Yes I think there are certain issues that are more pertinent to the older age group applicants, would be great to swap notes,
