Do medical schools discriminate against older applicants?

There likely are some medical schools that may disqualify you because of your age. But these programs are in the minority. If you have a strong GPA and MCAT scores, and if you can demonstrate that your decision to go to medical school is logical and well thought out, then most schools should consider you to be a legitimate applicant. Just make sure you apply to a large number of schools to hedge against the few programs that may frown on older applicants.
