You're NOT too old to go to medical school—and today, I'm explaining why. I'm also addressing HOW to tell your story if you've been through a lot of struggle and poor academic performance in your past.

In this episode of Ask Dr. Gray: Premed Q&A, I'm talking to a nontraditional student just starting his premed postbac at a community college. He has two main questions:

• Is it too late for me to go back to medical school?
• If it's not too late, how do I talk about the rough undergrad experiences in my past without being pitied?

In answering his questions, I touch upon:

• Why you can go back to medical school at ANY age.
• Financial considerations with medical school as you get older
• Why I recommend not even worrying about those financial considerations.
• How to decide whether to include certain details of your story (and potential red flags) in your application.
• Whether you should talk about being transgender or LGBT on your med school application.
• Why your unique story can be an ADVANTAGE when applying to medical school.
