I'm 22, will be 23 soon but I've just started 100lvl in Radiography.

In my department, I have a colleague who studied Water engineering, served and worked for some years, but still came back to pursue a degree in ràdiography. Man is in his 30's.

Use your 20's to pursue your dreams and u'll be glad you did in your 30's.

I'm not going to lie though, the zeal and passion for education has greatly reduced compared to when I was much younger. I just hope I get a spark to revamp my passion soon.

I did spend a lot of years trying to get admission into a medical course. Right now, it really doesn't interest me. Nothing actually interest me right now.

When it comes to medical school, age doesn't matter. Forget about your secondary school mates being far ahead of you. Everyone has their own time zone. It is just a matter of time. Before you know it, you are done with medical school. In my class, there is a man who's in his 40's or 50's and he is married. Look at it, if someone at that age can be studying Medicine, then why should you be concerned when you are just 22? There are also those with first degree in my class and in the level lower than mine. Just focus on your goals and make sure they are achieved. Forget about age when it comes to medical school.

Greetings to all the amazing personalities of this great forum. Age goes by what it`s called. I am 22 now. Does my age an impediment or a limiting factor still be considered because of not being in medical school by now; going by my classmates and those that i am ahead of in secondary school are now currently in 300l ,200l, 100l. Sporadically as per say some are through with ND, IT while some just gained admission to study one course or the other but not actually their dream course, although some are lucky because they got their heart desired course. My stand here is..is age an impeding factor in medical school using my self as a reference point?

Hello SF, I understand how you feel. People keep saying that age doesn't matter. But from experience, it could matter along the line! Just be sure that it's what you want for yourself. You will definitely get older. It's better to get older while doing what you want. If age is to 'restrict' you at all, you are your 'restriction'. Noone will refuse to give you MBBS admission because of your 'age'.

Anyway, incase you've not seen this series, I talked about my personal experience. I talked about the challenges of starting medical school as a second degree or at age 25+. I also gave advice to those in this category.

Hello Chief,
In my honest opinion, you shouldn't even be asking this.

22 years? Dah, you are a very young man

There are more than 10 persons in my class who are over 40. Most of them are married with children.
But here they are, chasing hard after their dreams because the race of life is not a Sprint but a marathon. Each person has his own race to run, and you are not in a competition with anyone.

It's all a matter of purpose and passion. If you strongly believe that this is what you are meant to do with your life, then carry on my brother, nothing do you.

When you finally get in, it will be worth it and you will forget all your toiling and labour, trust me.
May God bless everything you do.

Please chat me on Whatsapp
I lost your number.

Age is the last thing you should worry about in med school….
You’ll definitely meet people way older than you when you get in. So don’t let that limit you in anyway, just focus on yourself and let every other thing fall in place.

Tonye001, I want to be the first to congratulate you here on the successful completion of your medical degree.
You persevered, sacrificed, and I'm happy for you that your dream is here.
You're indeed a source of motivation to anyone who might think he's a bit behind in the medical degree pursuit. With an MSc and married, you took on the seemingly daunting task and it's all over now. Regards to the family.
Congratulations once again, Dr A.I Tonye (Bsc, MSc, MB;BS)

Hi Medics,

It's been a very long walk for me. I recall when I first found this thread, it was when I was looking for admission into medschool. I once wrote then that I'd be back here one day to share my testimony. Today is that day. As of yesterday, I qualified as a medical doctor.

The past seven years have really been interesting. I was supposed to finish medschool in 5 years as I was a DE student. But Nigeria happened to me, I got two more years even though I did not repeat any class. But here I am today celebrating success.

I thank you all for all you do here. I thank the creator of this thread (Chief Lagusta). I thank the posters. I thank those that ensured this page didn't die. This thread helped me, it helped many before me, and it will help many after me. I've just concluded my medschool diary, if interested, you may want to read through it.

For all those still in the training, and for those still trying to get in, I wish you all success. It's possible, just continue trying.

Best wishes, friends. Have a great evening.

Dr. Tonye001.

Congratulations my Chief.

Congratulations once again Dr. Tonye.

Congrats bro, I'm so happy and proud of you. 🙂

Clinton39:


Your score is actually very good.

Do they write post UTME?

SF123:
@SPENCER ASOGWA. You are extremely qualified, eligible and will definitely get medicine and surgery with your jamb score. All you need to do is to hustle and study hard for the post utme if Esut will conduct this year. I recommend you should start your preparation now because preparation at an early stage matters a lot. Please don`t relent only on your jamb score to avoid stories that touch. It seems i knew you on facebook, hit me up via Kosisochukwu Nwazojie my username lets talk better.
