Hi everyone, thanks for reading. I'm a high school sophomore and have many questions for current or past medical students (particularly pediatricians, but not only)
1. What did you major in?
2. Between biochemistry and biomedical engineering majors, which one do you think is the most successful (in the sense of providing a job with simply that degree, as a back-up plan for medical school)
3. Did you have a back-up plan for medical school, just in case it didn't work out for you? If yes, what was it?
4. How many medical schools did you apply to, how many were you accepted to?
5. Is it possible to have a part-time job during medical school? And if not, then how do you financially support yourself?
6. Do you have time to work out/exercise during medical school? I've heard no, but I just don't buy it.
7. What was the hardest part of medical school for you?
9. This is not exactly medical-related, but what is the difference between a major and minor? And what did you minor in?
10. I want to become fluent in Spanish, is it possible for me to study abroad during my undergraduate, or will that impair my studies?
11. Did you find it easier to apply to a medical school out-of-state or in-state?
12. Was it difficult to find a job after completing your residency?
13. When did you apply for medical school/what was the process?
15. Was residency more or less stressful than medical school?
16. If you don't mind sharing, how much debt did you have? Or what would you say is the average debt of a medical student?
17. Any other tips for medical school/things you wish you would have done differently?
