<p>This is really depressing how vicious people are on this website. I know post-bacs that are 42 at my university and they are driven to become doctors. Are they stupid? By no means. Many of them set the curve. Just because people are old does not mean that they should not have the same opportunities as everyone else. Life isn't fair to everyone. To those who attack this poor woman for wanting to go back to school: grow up you little twits. Your statistics aren't all that hot either and you're bashing someone who performs very well given everything she's gone through - what are you afraid of? That she'll take away your space?</p>
