I am a nontraditional student applying to medical school for the 2017 cycle (entering school in 2017). My husband and I have decided to start a family this year and I have been working very hard to figure out if this will be detrimental to the application process.
My original plan was to get pregnant in July or August (I know, I know, timing rarely works that way!). I figured that way during interview season I wouldn’t be too noticeably pregnant. Recently though I found out that interview season stretches into February and March, which would mean that I would be six or seven months pregnant if I am interviewing that late in the season.
We really want to have a baby before I start school, but I’m now freaked out that schools will reject me once they see that I am pregnant. What do you guys think? Should I postpone getting pregnant? Will places reject me if they see that I am pregnant? Am I super dumb to be even thinking about doing this?
