GO FOR IT! Nothing ventured, nothing gained. In the words of Tim McGraw..."How bad do you want it?"

Can't say yes, can't say no. It all depends on your grades in med school prerequisite courses. You need to do well in all scince and math courses to get into med schools. You will have to take the MCAT, but if you do well in your college classes you should be fine.
As far as having a chance to get in, you should have the same chance as anyone else applying. I know a guy who was 48 before he decided he wanted to go to Pharmacy School. He had to go through 2 years of prereqs and 4 years of PharmD school...so it's never too late

Yes, you do. In fact, you may have a better chance than those fresh from undergrad school because of your life experience. My husband entered Med School at OU at 38. He graduates this year at 43. Go for it.

I know for a fact that Ivy league med schools have and will accept people of any age as long as they have the grades and experience that is worthy of such a school. They need to keep their diversity quotas up. Go for it, doctor.....

You are never too old and you are not getting any younger. Start the application process now and make a commitment to yourself that you can make this happen for yourself. List the benefits of moving forward with your education, then a list of all of your objections. Burn the list of objections.
