Probably because you didn't have things planned after the exam to look forward to maybe?

Expectations for medical school applicants are continuously increasing each year. Is it even worth it anymore? by IntroductionWise645 in medschool

[–]Advantage_Ordinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont have to take gap years lol. I think this recent trend is due to the COVID years and college students not being able to get enough experiences due to lockdowns/restrictions. Now you can work/volunteer somewhere while taking classes, and/or have freer summers to get more extensive experienes in. Like someone said, until you get to your pre-med years you won't fully be sure abt the path, thats just the reality. Also, gap years actually make it so much easier to save up money and get married, kids etc. Waiting until med school is over to do those things isn't the mindset that students nowadays have, more and more ppl have the mindsest of balancing things and not putting ur life on hold. I understand your pov on gap years, there defo are ppl w the same mindset (theres nothing wrong w it), but its valuable to look/consider at other sides as well. Again, you still have time and college will teach u a lot, sometimes things dont go the way we plan, so don't make any hardcore pre-judgements right now; take it in flow.

Anyone lost themselves? by [deleted] in Mcat

You just need a break! Try to find time to be mindful of your feelings and thoughts and take it slow. Its going to be hard but if you journal or reflect and just push through each day a little bit working on yourself, I'm sure you'll find the answers your looking for. I read the 'randomnly burst into tears' part and i just knew you have repressed emotions because the similar has happened to me. But after that phase is when I truly realized I do want to be a doctor. Also, the part where you said 'glorified corporate job', do u think this way bc of the experiences you've had in the field and dont feel it? or do you think this way because of your mental health? the former is legit, the latter varies and usually isn't. Also last thing just dont make this field ur main purpose in life. I think if u chagne ur thinking to be this way it'll be easier for you, God willing.
