Age...too old???

spacecat · 2011-05-25 16:29:11

Hello all, I have been told that there may be a cut-off age for studying Medicine ie 27 years! Is this true??? Surely not. Is there anyone out there studying Medicine over the age of 30, 40, 50 etc??? :)

I heard an old schoolmate of mine who is 33 and studying Graduate Medicine since last September. So if there IS a cut off age, it must be greater than that

Well thats good to know . They may be studying on the GEP 4 year course. The entry is based on GAMSAT mainly, no interview.
I'm wondering about Mature Entry Medicine, this is where a panel short lists for interview.

I know of one lady who is in her late 30's studying medicine at the moment.

That information is incorrect.
