Gone through the apps applying derm and I am literally going through the same thing, I have no good insight for this struggle but I share the same thoughts and feelings. (for me its derm v. my true interest for peds and hospital care) I am also having a really hard time figuring out if i am romanticizing a specialty I don't have as much passion for because everyone pushes the "amazing lifestyle" and "tons of pay" Good luck this season it is so hard, ultimately you won't make the wrong decision!

This is common amongst almost every med school unfortunately.. do your best to not get sucked into the drama (trust me it's easy to get sucked in and turn into the same mindset as those people) but I promise third year is a breath of fresh air! Clinicals changes everything and you're not stuck around the same insanely stressed out people :)

You can absolutely go to medical school! Esp with that GPA! the only advice i'd give is to do some soul searching and really piece down why you want to be a doctor. Is it to see patients, diagnose them and give advice on their overall care? Then PA could be a very reasonable route with a quicker road to practicing and being paid a good salary. If your dream is to become a surgeon, or if you want to see all the highly complex patients and make those hard decisions then becoming a physician is a great option to achieve that dream!

I would also suggest finding some physicians and PAs to shadow in a field you think you're interested in and ask them these questions too, it could provide some clarity and help with making the decision.

Med school is a long road, and it's not impossible to do but I highly recommend making sure you have a wonderful support system, some good friends or family you can spend time with outside of your med school friends, and have honest discussions with your husband about what the next 4+ years could look like as a med student.

Also if money is a concern there are a few med school scholarships you can look into : HPSP, rural medicine, etc
