As someone who had to deal with this already, it is not easy. As an older (much older than your average matriculant) student with a very unique circumstance, it was next to impossible to find an an advisor in school or even other schools that could help me. I had to do this myself. It is not surprising though because most advisors have to deal with your typical aged, traditional matriculants vastly majority of the time. I have met 6 different advisors at universities and they alls spoke to me like I was 18 years old. I had to keep reminding them I was married and had a job for decade+. In which they were like “oh…oh yea thats right…so ummm. You need to be diligent, hard working, and life is not easy at a young age in college. Oh wait yes, you have been out of college for awhile. Why do you even wanna go to medical school?” I ended up using reddit, and talking to an ER do tor who also matriculated late in his life to medical school for some help and advice. The reality is that, in a traditional setting, non-traditional students do not have an easy time. I am glad someone like you is open and willing to help non-trads! :)

Dr. Gray, I had the pleasure to meet you at USF last year. Thank you so much for all you do. Your advices have changed my life for the better.

Dear Doctor Gray, I used to smoke a lot of crack (or "crank" as some might call it). I'm worried if I include this on my application that it may be looked upon negatively. I have since quit smoking rocks, and have been crack-free for the past 7 months.

I say you should mention it. That shows you’re a strong candidate

Hi Dr. Gray, could you let me know if virtual scribing is considered a clinical experience? I was recently employed by proscribe where they paired me with a spine surgeon. Here, I will be carried around on a phone or laptop and record notes of the physician's interaction with the patient.

I know this question is for Dr.Gray but really think if you have the opportunity and chance to work in person, you should! The nonverbal communication is also very important. It might be hard to experience something yourself if you are through the phone. I think they might be looking for people who experienced patient care in real life and are passionate about it. Something that will confirm that you really like working with patients. Really hard to show that to the school if you scribed through the phone.. Of course if it’s your only then there’s not much you can do. But it’s good to look for something with patient care
