scared

I want to preface this by saying I am deeply humbled and grateful to have received an interview from Neomed. But so far it is my only II.

I will be starting medical school in a year (I'm a senior in a BS/MD program), and I had a few questions about medical school that I'd rather not ask profs/other students because I don't want to look unprofessional/stupid/like I'd be a bad doctor. So I thought I'd post here! I have been leaning...

So I ended my 1 year relationship with my girlfriend (lesbians) yesterday and I'm heartbroken. We both mutually agreed on it and decided the best decision was to end things because I needed to focus on my undergrad studies while she wanted to still be a kid and experience life in that regard...

I’ve just completed my first week at a dental office post grad, and I hate it. The office that hired me stated I would have a mentor and I would be helping to handle their huge population of new patients. When I arrive for my first day I come in to an ornery Dr. who states he “ doesn’t know why...

hi everyone, I’ve been studying nonstop for my boards, and I can’t help but feel discouraged. I feel like there is so much that I dont know, and I’m not ready to be a resident. I did very well in school and on rotations, but somehow it’s different when you now have to re-memorize everything in...

I applied to both mstp and md programs at several Texas schools. I had one interview with A&M in mid July for both programs, but nothing since then. I am concerned that a lot of schools won't consider me because I applied to both programs. Did I completely screw myself over? Stats: 3.57 GPA...

Hey guys, I am in my first week of studying for the DAT (taking them 2nd of August). I follow Ari's study guide and change them a bit to better fit what I need to study more or less. I am religiously looking through threads and reading what other people are doing to study. Most people suggest...

Hey everyone, So usually I don’t do this but I’m in dire need of help and thought I would turn to you all for advice. This is a little long so bear with me. I’m currently in my first year of family medicine residency (about 5 months in) and I don’t like it. It’s not even my program or the...

Hi, all! I'm 40 and never graduated college. When I was 17-20 I dabbled and half arsed some community college. Didn't get many credits and had a terrible gpa. I'm without skills, without a degree and just now coming to the realization that I'm not a kid and don't "have plenty of time" to...

So here's the deal. I applied to 15 schools and completed secondaries for 9 of them by the end of August. Now it's October 1 and I've only gotten one interview. When should I be freaking out? Some people say end of October, others say to stick it out until April. What's everyone's opinion?

My test is two weeks away. I am almost done going through CHAD's videos for orgo and gen chem. I am very comfortable with math. I bought bootcamp recently and have been doing PAT practice on it. I work 40+ hours a week and only have a few hours each day to study. Bio I am also worried about. I...

So I'm on my OB rotation and the teaching has been subpar to say the least. A lady was in labor today and terrified about having a laceration so as she was pushing (2+ station) I was doing some posterior pressure with perineal massage. Now at this point it is just me and the labor nurses. The...

Is anyone else afraid for the amount of commitment you have to make for vet med. I love the field and I'm really passionate about it , but sometimes I worry about the financial burdens being a vet will cause as well as how demanding the job is. I see the vets a my work constantly staying late...

I am a sophomore. I got an F in orgo. My school does grade replacement, so if I redo the class the new grade will replace the F for my gpa, but you will still see on my transcript the F. My gpa is like a 2.6 with the F. I got a C in calc, too, and B's in my other science courses. But ny...
