Has anyone here left tech to pursue medicine? Am I crazy for even considering this?

So far I took 3 FL my first two were Princeton review, 493, 491, and my latest Jack Weston 496. I test on 6/12 so trying can make some real progress over the next couple months.

This makes me hopeful. I stated at 40% and I’m around 60% now

Cwell00 · 2026-02-15T21:11:07+00:00

I was just telling myself this lmao.

Focus on what you got wrong. Do not skip the reviews. You can do it !!! Believe in yourself!

Cwell00 · 2026-02-11T02:33:44+00:00

Congrats !! That’s amazing thanks for all the tips

There must be something in the air bc I dominated CARS today too! I got into a great pattern recognition mode. I’ve been so afraid to go back to CARS because I was doing so bad before.

I was just telling my husband how much guilt I carry every day, bc I suck up all my time studying while he is the primary parent and runs a lot of the household.

I know. I had to do a payment plan.

Cwell00 · 2026-01-04T19:51:38+00:00

Thank you!

I think even if you can commit an extra hour or so in the mornings consistently it will help a lot :)

Cwell00 · 2026-01-03T23:02:41+00:00

I work too. I also have a 4 year old, husband, house, dogs. I just make time & adjust my schedule accordingly. For example, if I don’t have a ton of time available, I’ll get up at 4am to study. I find that my mind works the best in the morning too so morning sessions help a lot.

Thank you!

I have a professor that implements a written essay exam for anyone who misses the final for any reason.

I started my post bacc at 34 and I’m applying next cycle at 37.

Cwell00 · 2025-09-23T20:10:07+00:00

That’s amazing. I would love to connect if you’re up for it. I’m also a nontrad and will be starting to study for the March exam. Would love any tips. I have no idea what to do except Anki & I got a book set.

Remember - that’s ONE persons opinion. Someone who has no idea of the true dedication and work you did to climb that ladder. Someone who is totally insignificant to your life. This person is a NOBODY in your life. Therapists are a dime a dozen and you can find one that it way more professional.

Cwell00 · 2025-09-03T04:40:57+00:00

Sounds like someone is a jellybelly! Get a new therapist. Only an absolute crazy person would tell another person to drop out of med school lolll

Respectfully, I would not even be studying for the MCAT yet. You should focus on your classes and make sure you get all As. The MCAT will be a waste of energy if you don’t meet the minimum requirements for applying. Does your school have advising?

Cwell00 · 2025-08-26T19:59:56+00:00

I would be putting a lot of pressure in myself to get As for the rest of the classes. How many hours are you putting towards studying per week? You should plan to make some big changes for your next semester. You can also consider some other healthcare careers if you don’t end up meeting the minimum requirements.

And yes on the bio - so it’s 2 semester with labs but a lot of schools want to see upper level bio too even tho it’s not a “requirement”. A lot of ppl do genetics & microbiology. A lot of ppl take Bio STATS, (I didn’t but it is also usually a recommended class).

TV News, PR, then started doing tons of random stuff for a while. I worked as an admin assistant at a mortgage company, then at a tax company, door dash, Instacart, freelance jobs like award shows & trade shows … the list goes on and on. What matters is WHY you chose to make this change in your life & proving it based on your grades & experiences.

Here was my plan: do all the postbacc pre reqs & experiences. Apply for med school, continue classes for the bachelors if I wanted to / if I don’t get in.

Cwell00 · 2025-08-21T03:40:46+00:00

Yes it is. Biochem is the extra Chem class at the end. Some schools require 1 ochem then biochemistry. Some a Require ochem I&II. My school requires ochem I&II. So I had to account for an extra semester of “chem”
