It has been 8 years since I have been to this forum.
I applied in 2015 but I withdrew. I was burned out and life was happening and I thought I would be ok not trying to be a doctor anymore. I was 43yo then. I am 51yo now.
I have worked in healthcare my entire life and I’m still in healthcare. I was talking to a couple of doctors recently and they asked me why I didn’t keep going or why I dont just try again now and I said because I think its too late. And both of them said, “I had someone older than you in my graduating class.”
I feel the urge and the calling off an on still. But is it worth it to try or is it honestly just too late now?
All of my prerequisites were completed 2010-2015 except biochemistry which wasn’t a requirement when I applied in 2015. I can take that class locally this year (if I can even remember any science).
Honest advice please because I am really torn.
