Certainly not, lots of people go back to school to do premed, I think the only limit is how willing you are to learn.
I personally believe that older students are better, they don't take for granted all the crap that bother other students. Most people graduate college at 22 or 23 with premed anyway, so two years isn't that big of a deal!
good luck

No. Some med schools don't like taking older applicants because they feel they'll be too old by the time they get through everything to really help out the world. At 25, you don't fall into that category though.

If you really really want to be a doctor and you love helping people then why not? If you just want to make a ton of dough being a pre-med at the age of 25. You better just build a company like Yahoo

It's never too late. I'm in my 30's and I just finished my undergraduate degree in 2005. I deferred my grad studies in school psych for a year and now I've decided that I want to get a PhD in neuroscience. Given my late decision, I've already missed the deadline for next year, which means the earliest I can start is 2008. I'll be in my forties when I finish my studies, but so what. This is what I really want to do with my life and ultimately, that's all that matters. I don't care what people think of my going back to school at such a late date. I'm pursuing my dreams. If premed is what you really want, then ABSOLUTELY you should do it, no matter your age!

I read a Dear Abby a few years back from a woman who said she'd always wanted to go to med school, but she was 40 and in four years when she finished she'd be 44 and she was too old to go to med school. Abby simply asked, "How old will you be in four years if you don't go to med school?" That, put simply, is "You're never too old to follow your dreams! Good luck!

No. Oliver Wendell Holmes did not initiate regulation college until eventually after he were a schoolteacher for thirty years. He finally grew to change into chief Justice of the best court docket. in case you do not initiate now, how previous will you be in ten years and nonetheless not have what you want?

Not if that's really what you want to do. Just keep in mind that you're getting a late start and be committed to the end result.
