I was used to being the youngest in my classes...
21 when I graduated college
24 when I graduated law school
But then the dream of medical school did not die and kept growing stronger, so I then I became one of the oldest in the class. The younger students (22 yo) would say in awe of the law degree and practice, "But you don't look
that old?" Mind you, I was 26! So I would just reply, "That's because I'm not that old." But I remember those days in law school when I thought the people who started law school at 25 were ancient.
26 when I started post-bacc
27 when I first applied to 4 schools (1 interview, 1 reject)
28 when I applied a second time to more schools, but only completed the 4 original secondaries plus one DO (2 interviews, 1 Acceptance, 1 waitlist with word of acceptance coming very soon)
29 when I will start medical school this fall
Anyhow, I acquired a husband in the process...and hope to pick up some babies along the way too!
