Can I start medical school in my mid-30s

Can I start medical school in my mid-30s?
Mid 30s, my degree was in English (4 A levels in humanities and languages). Is this going to make it impossible to get in to Med school in the UK? Would I need to gain work experience first?

Not so much "impossible" as "impractical" - being as considering how long you'd be in school with no income, while acquiring debt to pay for your schooling, and factoring in that you won't be done until you're pushing 50 and still have years of debt to pay off.............. the call is one only you can make.

Since American universities' top priority is sports, shouldn't parents send their kids to school in the UK

Since American universities' top priority is sports, shouldn't parents send their kids to school in the UK?
American universities give kids tons of scholarship money not because they study hard or any academic reason, but that they play sports; if you want your kids to learn anything, shouldn't you send your kids here to the UK? We have sports but not tied to college scholarships. I know, you guys want to find dumb kids from the ghettos, give them a football and a diploma so you can sell tickets and t-shirts and pat each other on the back. And all is justified in your country as bringing in money for the school. If American parents really want to give their kids a good education you really need to send them to England. MKC: Not true. The top sporting schools raise their tuition at a higher rate than the ones that don't do so well. J B: Where did you learn your extensive vocabulary?

just because we have sports and give poor kids a chance to a good education with sport sholarships does not mean that we lack in educational values in any way.

The dumb kids from the ghettos are not in college for an education and they do not stop others from getting a good education. Both of my daughters received academic scholarships. Most Americans can not afford the Ivy League Universities. There are few who can afford to send their children to the UK.

What a dream, to attend Oxford for a Doctorate in Fine Literature! If only we could afford it. NOTHING is right with things right now, imo.

I think the elimination of physical education programs in seventh through 12th grade in California Is a travesty. That State lottery funds that started in 1986 had to supplement our schools revenue and are illegally used for other purposes. The spending per pupil has dropped from $15K in 1990 to under 10k now with prisoners costing way over 50K. Kids are burdened with heavy 30 year old books because providing school lockers proved inconvenient by the administration.Fees were raised for college students yet again by our governator who attended one free in 1974, and that's not a tax? I think the sports departments can all piss off!

whats wrong wiht a scholarship based on sprts and a education based on school?
2 :
i think your only seeing part of the story here. im not gonna defend all american schools, cuz they arent all good. but what you arent seeing is that a majority of the athletic scholarships are also tied to academics. they find someone they want based on a sport and then they check into their academics and if they meet a certain level they help them out with the money. most of the time its not only their skill. wouldnt you think parents would rather their kid get their schooling payed for then have to pay WAY extra to send them to another country? i still wouldnt mind going to Englad though! haha

Are you kidding? There is no need to ship kids of to other countries for an education.

Absence is granted at the discretion of the head teacher. You can take your child out of school for a few days but the school does not have to authorise it. If it is an unauthorised absence it will not have much impact on the child - it's more about government funding for the school. If the child has several unauthorised absences in the year the Educational Welfare Officer may be called in to investigate. Some areas of the UK fine parents for unauthorised absences but they need a clear policy in place to do this - a phone call to the education authority for that area will confirm if this is in place and will let you know how much. Schools like to pretend they can randomly fine parents when they wish-this is not the case as I said before. Head teachers are very anti unauthorised absence because if the school has a lot in one year then its funding for staff and resources for the following academic year will be lower. Having said all of that if the children only miss a couple of days it won't really matter.

We have nursery from 3-4 or 5. Then they go to "primary school" until 10 or eleven (depending on bday) then we have "upper school or high school" until 16, then they can stay on at high school if they wish and do Alevels, this is called 6th form. Then uni!! hope that helps! xx

You start off in Primary/Infant School and that is from the ages of four-seven. Then junior school - ages seven 'till eleven. Then five years of high school - eleven until you turn sixteen. After that you have a choice of either going into work or you can further your education by going to College and University.

There are differences even within the UK. In Scotland you can go to pre-school at 3 or 4 but you don't have to. You start Primary 1 aged four or five, depending when your birthday falls. You then stay at Primary school until Primary 7. You now go to secondary school and you're aged 11 or 12, again depending on when you're birthday falls ie. if you started school at 4 you'll be 11 when you go to secondary school and if you started at 5 you'll be 12 for secondary school. You can go to Secondary school for 4 years, 1st year to 4th year. In 4th year you sit exams. You will be either 15 or 16. After 4th year you can choose to stay on for 5th year, at the end of which you sit more exams. After this you can choose to go back for 6th if you want to at the end of which you sit more exams. 6th year is the final year you can choose to stay for and you will be either 17 or 18 at the end of it. 5th and 6th year are optional. You can choose to do both years or just one. Some stay on and complete them, other's just get a job and other's go to college. After they go to college, some go on to university. Most who complete 5th or 6th year will go on to university but not all do.

Wondering what the school schedule is in London, England. More specifically if you can tell me Stoke Newington School's schedule (what day does school start, end) that would be great. And yes I looked up hackney (Stoke Newington School) and their site isn't to descriptive of their calendar and it's hard to tell what's school and what isn't. thanks narses I couldn't have asked for a better answer!

The traditional arrangements are that the school year starts in September. The Autumn term lasts until Christmas. There's a half-term break of a week in October and the Christmas break lasts for a fortnight. The Spring term lasts until Easter, whenever that is that year. Again, the half-term break is in the middle, usually in February at some point, and another two weeks over Easter. The Summer term lasts from Easter to late July. Again there's a half-term break of a week and the summer holiday lasts from late July to early September.
