Has anyone applied to Medical School later in life as a second career?

Asked by DrewJ (436points) February 24th, 2012

I’m 26. I went to film school and it hasn’t worked out. I know Medical School is daunting and it is not a decision to make lightly, but after three years of telling myself I want to do it and numerous false starts I am determined to go to medical school no matter what it takes. I know that I’ll need to take a year of Sciences to even have fulfilled the basic requirements to apply to Medical School.

My question…

I’m the type of guy that needs structure. I’m a hard worker when a path is laid out in front of me but identifying a path is my weak point. Does anyone know of a resource I can refer to that will let me know/tell me what kind of courses I need to take to apply to medical school? I’m sure all medical schools require different things, but somewhere there must be some kind of guide or resource for people choosing med school as a second career. I can’t seem to find a good one.
