I don't see any obstacles blocking you from entry as a
non-traditional student. Our class's average age this year
is 23 years, however, some 25 students out of 120 are
age 25 and older. I think is reflective of the
smaller number of older applicants applying, rather
than any sort of discrimination against older
applicants. By and large, the older students bring
another dimension to the class, often having
experiences that the younger students lack.
However, your lack of Canadian citizenship is a huge
obstacle. UBC currently does not accept any
applicants who don't hold Canadian citizenship. You might want to check the UBC website which is located at www.med.ubc.ca As
far as I know, only McGill university and Memorial
university accept American students, and these
universities are in Quebec and Newfoundland
respectively. You might want to check out Sean
Winter's page, as he has links to all 16 Canadian
medical schools. You can find his site as the first entry of my Links page.
