I started my D1 year about a month ago(first midterms already done) and I am seriously starting to regret my choice to pursue dental over medical. Every time I pass through the med school or see the med students doing their thing all I can think about is that I wish I was doing their work. I try to push my thoughts to the side but they just keep nagging at me. I did consider it before applying to dental but figured I was too old(28) to bother with all the residency and what not. In hindsight that was a very short sighted logic.
My question is how will it look if I were to withdraw from my program now and re-apply to med school starting next cycle? Are Adcoms dissuaded by applicants that withdrew from other professional programs?
My undergrad GPA was solid(3.94sGPA) and I am passing with high marks in all my dental courses(histo, biochem, physio, tooth morph). The only thing I lack is the MCAT and some medical clinic volunteer/work experience.
And before anyone says it.. No I do not want to pursue oral surgery. I shadowed one and its just not for me.
Anyone ever done this? Any advice?
Thankyou in advance.
