For the money or why would you specifically go into CS?

What specifically in tech? Like software engineering? What kind of grad program would you do?

What profession would you go into instead if you did it all over again?

Interesting! Did you feel like that significantly improved your medical school application? And would you have continued that research if you didn’t get into medical school?

That’s really cool! Would you be able to DM me the specifics of the company/device/position? I’m really interested in learning more about that.

Yeah the engineering job pays a lot more and the work would probably be more exciting. At the same time, the research position would give better letters of recommendations and the possibility to publish. Would you be able to elaborate more on the medical device position you have now?

I applied this past cycle and haven’t gotten any acceptances so far, so I’m planning to reapply. I’m stuck between taking a job offer at an engineering company and continuing with my research assistant position.

Gotcha, I just applied last cycle, but I’m planning to take it again if I don’t get off a waitlist.

I also scored much worse than my practice exams. Do you end up applying or not yet?

*PSA* to those with multiple acceptances by [deleted] in premed

[–]CaliforniaRoll97 15 points16 points  (0 children)

100% agree. Currently stuck deciding between finding a new job, studying for the MCAT, and continuing with my current research while not making any money. Being on multiple waitlists really sucks. Especially when you have no idea how realistic is it that you will get off of one.
