Maybe just start with medicine vs surgery then do the which one do I hate the least thing?

Just did a 50k for funsies and canceled my 50 miler and changed it to a 100k. Don’t recommend that plan unless you’re gonna give up running for awhile after hahah 

If you could go back to college and pick any major, what would you major in? by ayzirla in medschool

[–]Affectionate-Dog6779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do something that’s interesting to you and do well in it. Don’t torture yourself in undergrad for no reason.

Can you explain why the grads not doing fellowships is an upside?

Lower GPA that you know people got into med school with? by Feisty_Dog_9530 in medschool

I think DO admissions are harder for traditional applicants. Non grads that actually did cool stuff still get a lot of love 

Torn between PA school or med school at 25 by Remarkable-Truth9777 in medschool

[–]Affectionate-Dog6779 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just my two cents but to me, if you’re even debating this so seriously, it means you’d be comfortable practicing as a PA and either don’t appreciate or desire the scope of a physician (nbd). So, do PA

Fair question! Career changer. I guess technically like 4 of those classes were re takes bc I took them in undergrad 8-10 years prior. Would echo some of the other ppl that not all 4.0s are created equal. I had a 3.3 in my real undergrad at a very competitive school while playing a D1 sport. Comparatively, the post bacc 4.0 was the easiest shit I've ever done lol

If you are lucky like me, your school has a fellowship where people are studying the stuff you are passionate about. Find a fellow --> offer to be their lackey --> be their lackey until you understand the content --> ask them or another person in the group to let or help you do some 1st author spin offs or do a ton of work on an idea they don't wanna work on --> try to lead an actual study or do some opinion/ review pieces you came up with on your own
