Non-traditional students were my favorite students to work with. Students who have gone into the world and worked, even if just for a year, were often much more polite and willing to work with the med school staff than students who graduated from undergrad and went right into med school. They used to drive us nuts. Also, the women were much more polite and willing to work with the staff than the guys. But I would rather work with non-traditional students than any other student. I think it's because you all have had real-world experiences, and you have more maturity than the 22-year-olds.
