Hey everyone,
I hope all is going well and that if you haven't been accepted here, that you will be accepted somewhere.
I'm about to graduate FSUCOM and I wanted to give some parting words before I left the pre-med community:
For those of you that have been accepted to FSUCOM, I wanted to congratulate you personally. Choosing FSUCOM (and FSUCOM choosing me,) was the best decision I've ever made. The experiences and knowledge that I had at FSUCOM will stick with me for the rest of my career. I want you to know that even if you feel like you aren't good enough or smart enough, you are. There is a reason that they accepted you, they are very good at this, even if it takes them two or more tries to take you (for my reapplicant peeps.) Feel free to PM me if you want advice or input along the way for FSUCOM or medical school in general.
For those of you that have been accepted elsewhere, congratulations. The hard part of premed is over for you guys, and you deserve to relax and celebrate. In fact, that is my main piece of advice for you guys, relax and enjoy this time. When medical school starts you will be so busy and stressed you won't get to really cherish the free time that you have as much.
For those of you that haven't been accepted yet, keep holding on to hope. I had a buddy from college that didn't get into medical school for two cycles. If your true dream is becoming a doctor, don't let one cycle bog you down. If I can get in, anyone can. Also, there is so much variation in admission committee decisions, but don't give up. A lot of admissions committees like perseverance.
Everything will be ok guys, and I'm proud of all of you. I've found a lot of pleasure helping the premed (and specifically the FSU premed) community over the years and hope that you guys find the path to becoming a doctor that fits well for you.
Alright, I'm leaving. Again, any of you feel free to PM me over the years if you want to ask questions or just talk.
Have fun, everyone.
Sincerely,
Saxappeal1
