30 yo M1. Go for it breh.Hoping that someone here can provide some info. I am interested in applying to med school within the next 2 years. I'm a PA in the army and I've been practicing for a little over 7 years. I've been in ortho for about a year and was family med before that. My service obligation will be complete in about a year and a half, so I'm looking at options for when I get out. I want to become an orthopedic surgeon. However, im just not sure if going back to school at this point would be really beneficial. I mean, I'll be 31 when I get out. And IF I even get accepted into school I'd be starting at 32/33. So I'm a little apprehensive about that because I'd be considered a non-traditional student. Has anyone here started med school a little later in life? Lastly, I've heard about a PA to DO pathway offered at LECOM but I have not met anyone who has gone through. From my research on it, it appears that they knock a year off of med school in lieu of clinical experience. The major downside to that is that they are primarily interested in students who will go into primary care. They will accept those who aspire to other specialties as well, but getting accepted may prove more difficult. I'm hoping that someone here may be knowledgable on the program.
If anyone has info or advice that you are willing to offer I am here and ready to listen.
Relax, take your time breh. I remember in undergrad, there were plenty of ladies and gents, 30+ still in the process of clearing their prereqs to do medicine.Hoping that someone here can provide some info.

You certainly won't be alone, there is always a nice sized chunk of the class that is nontraditional.Hoping that someone here can provide some info.

Don't stress about it.
Alongside this thread, checkout the Non-Traditional forum on StudentDoctorNetwork, there will be a lot of support there too.
Also, has anyone in this thread gone to Georgia Tech, or know someone who goes there?
I'm thinking about putting a transfer app in even though I'm a Junior right now.

Honestly, i think that's what most people should do.
21-25 y/o in med school is going miss out on a lot of things in life that they'll never get back(being young especially early 20's)
The real kicker comes into play when people are settled into debt, at young age that'll take years to payoff, also further limiting their activites and range of movement until another few years. They won't have any real signs of breathing room until they hit 30+, then their youth is gone, and everyone around them is busy starting families, igniting divorces, had time to travel the world, try various jobs....
shyt is tough....

7 weeks into being a transfer student at Morgan State University and I must say that people talk a lot of b.s. about HBCUs, but if a person is dedicated and hardworking there is probably gold in any university. I am in the Honors Program for Business and for the entire college. There are many resources that the average student has no clue about. That shouldn't be, but as I stated before hardwork and dedication will have you land in front of these resources.
Just from being in the Honors program, I have been prepped to market myself, present myself, and hold conversations with company executives like never before. My girl literally just had an interview internship with Goldman Sachs and attended a National Conference. We both have an interview with a Walmart Management intern positions. There are so many opportunities available if you got a good GPA and give a damn about your future. I wouldn't trade this opportunity in.
Also, mad companies come to HBCUs to seek diversity as opposed to PWIs. Food is straight ass, which is sad because we got a BE100 as our food provider, but other than that I am enjoying my experience.
