My grandmother died at 85 lamenting never having been able to go to medical school (because she was a woman!). I started med school at 30 and have yet to think I am too old (granted sometimes I wish I was younger, single and without kids, but that's another topic). Follow your heart and you'll never regret it.

Ladies I cannot express enough how much I appreciate your replies. I am from a small northern town so I don't speak of my plans to many people (I'm sure you all understand why). Thank goodness for the internet and this website.
Have a great day everyone!
