Hi Diamondice79,
Your story is very similar to mine, so I just had to post. I graduated from HS in 1992, got a BS in Computer Science in 1997, worked as a network engineer until 2002, and then went back for postbacc classes to apply to med school. In the meantime, I had a couple of kids along the way, volunteered in an ER and then worked as a clerk in an ER, trained as a scrub tech, and then got into med school. I was also interested in TCOM but ended up in Oklahoma and am a 1st year at OSU-COM in Tulsa. Long story short, don't give up on your dream! If I can do this at 36, anyone can do this!! You might have to change your approach on getting into med school, but it is possible! If you have any questions at all, I would be glad to share what worked for me...

How Awesome... Thank you for sharing that with me. I want to slap my self siting hear a year later thinking what i could have done if i just made the decsion instead of being safe. GOOD LUCK on your first year. Please keep in touch when time permits I would love to hear how things are going

I am excited yet scared. I just got the approval from my AWESOME Director to take a BIOCHEM class i need in the Fall. I am going to study to retake the MCAT, and I am going to work very hard at trying to get into medical school again. I feel like a small cloud has been lifted from my heart.

Now time to get back in the grind of doing a lot of hard work in short amount of time.

I think i am going to try and attend the OldPremds conference this year, I went in 2008 and I really enjoyed it, and it really help with the motivation.

reading my last post from January 2010 is a bit depressing, becaue my feelings have not changed. I got so busy with work and my daughter, that for a while it was easy to look over my failure.

but i decided i am ging to try again. I am begining to study for the MCAT Starting today.

I dont plan on taking it until January, but I really want to be prepared.

I went to the OLD premeds Conference in Vegas this year, and it was very very encouraging, All the women that spoke, had all started Medical school after the age of 30.

I right here and now state, that this will be my season. I will study, reapply and start medical school, by next August.

More to come...
