I totally understand your concern. I am a youngin as well going into medical school. I will barely have turned 21 when i start. Honestly, medical schools really do not judge based on age, but they will take into consideration you are graduating a year early. Some school will definitely ask you questions about your decision, they like students to spend 4 yrs doing their undergrad, they think it will make you more well rounded. However, when and if they ask those questions you just need to be confident and show them that you are mature and prepared to handle what med school throws your way. So do not shy away from this opportunity just because of ur age, just make sure you are prepared. Also your university will probably have health fairs where med schools will come and visit, talk to them, let them know that you are graduating in 3 yrs, see what they say. Its always good to get the inside knowledge 🙂

Good Luck!

don’t worry about the average age, if anything help lower it! then you can get it over with and don’t have to wait till your 26 to go to school. if i was interested in med school, i would do it asap, but i’m going into financing.

David,

Sounds to me that you are a very determined young man. I would recommend that you do undergrad for two years, if possible but you’ll be in hell. It is just too hard, but from the sound of things, you can be the person to do it.

Good Luck and keep me updated!

Go Trojans!!!!
