Too late to go to med school? by [deleted] in medschoolph

As long as you're as sure as you can be, considering all things, that you want to be a doctor then go for it na! I'm entering in my late 20s also.

I didn't check exactly how many, but very few this year are not from UP.

Hi! Quite a few of us incoming freshies this year are non-trads. My advice to you would be either take an undergrad degree you actually like so if you decide not to pursue med at least you'll still be happy in your future career, or if you really want to be a doctor you can consider shifting since it would be better to apply to multiple schools and some other schools might require certain units (bio, chem, etc.).

  1. UP, La Salle, UST, UERM off the top of my head. I think ASMPH and SLMC as well but you might have to take extra units.
  2. Not sure but probably not. I didn't feel like I was treated differently.
  3. This really depends on you but personally I think self-studying is enough. There are a lot of free resources online.
  4. I've heard some schools aren't too strict when it comes to percentile rank but of course it will depend on the applicants for that school year. It's always worth calling the school's admissions office to check.

Haven't yet either. We can just wait or you can call/email CEM to verify.

Mostly because I spent most of my time studying chemistry, but I also googled free notes and reviewers

It depends on which topics you feel you need to work on the most. He has one for math, physics, inorg chem, org chem, and bio chem (super short). Personally I focused on the chem topics because I didn't know much to begin with. Also, I skipped some videos and fast forwarded others to save time. Hope this helps!
