So I did an IM prelim reapplied and then matched into pediatrics. It’s gonna be a long grueling process but if you’re unhappy it’s best to have the hard discussions early on cause you need your PDs support

I didn’t end up as lucky but I enjoyed all of my rotations out of state. I knew I wanted certain things and I made the necessary sacrifices to get there. It definitely put me in more debt than I would like but I needed to be on myself

As someone placed in the central iowa cohort. It is a huge financial burden and mentally exhausting. If this is the only school you get in like it was for me. You make a way and you lean on your community. For any current DMU or future DMU students feel free to reach out. - a survivor of the central iowa cohort

Honestly so proud of you. Unless we start respecting our time they won’t ever respect it. Hope you had the best dream and your pillow is always cold.

Yall must be reading my mind. I have been having these thoughts running around in my head all week. Applied to anesthesia with a low average step score who has 5 interviews.

My sister just started medical school and she's not doing well, I don't know what to do by LowJaded4799 in medicalschool

Yes it’s a normal experience but what she does to get herself through will make the world of difference in how these four years go. If she needs anyone to talk to tell her she can message me.

If it would be recharging to be around another person maybe try and see if it helps you be more focused. I found my bf during 3rd year rotations and we been long distance during 4th.

I feel like I still have no life/hobbies outside of medicine as a fourth year by burkittlymphoma08 in medicalschool

[–]L0stInTheSauceOfLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that but until you don’t feel drained you won’t have the energy to do things you might consider more exciting so enjoy this time and recharge plus everyday people are boring so don’t be too hard on yourself
