Incoming college freshman here. And here is my problem.
I've been going through SDN obsessively and reading/absorbing so much info about each specialty. I (think) I have a good idea of what I want in a future career, and what I don't. Some medical specialties fit into this "paradigm", and some don't. My fear though is that I'll get to Medical School and realize none of the specialties really fit what I want to do. So I have two questions.
1. With specialties being so unique, what are some baseline, universal aspirations or talents that would tell a person that they are suited for med school?
2. Do most people go in with some specialties in mind, or do they just go in open-minded? If you go in open-minded, what do you do if you don't really like any all that much?
Thanks
