Hi SDN- I've shadowed a few different specialties throughout high school, and I'm fully convinced that orthopedic surgery is right for me as a specialty. I've read that these specialties are super competitive and require the right connections to get into. This makes me really worried if...

Hi. I’m a junior in undergrad and I’ve got myself in a bit of a pickle. I don’t necessarily have a “direction” from my undergrad. Here’s what I mean: I started out PoliSci but then came to terms with my love for nature and wildlife so considered veterinary medicine as a career option. After...

Hello people! I've recently been given an opportunity to intern at a Congressman's office on the hill. I would be working from January to June, and although it is a bit late to withdraw, I was not sure if this would be a helpful EC towards my med school app. I'm on the older-side of pre-med's...

Hi all, I've read many mixed responses to this question and wanted to follow-up to see if a more agreeable solution would surface. Like many med-school hopefuls on this forum, I scraped by in undergrad. Severe depression, drug/alcohol abuse and apathy led to poor performance in most areas of...
