I had a question about what we "should" write in the new AMCAS essay about how we invision our career to be in 10 years.
Honestly, I could not be able to say what specialty I would like to pursue as I have not decided this yet, I dont think I would be able to decide such a thing until I had some experience in several fields in med school. So, should I just say that I see myself as a general practitioner?
Also, should I say that I am interested in doing research. I am not to interested in doing research later on (but this could change if something interests me), but would it be a huge negative to say that I am not interested in research? Should I just say that I am interested in research? but I do have reservations about making up that I am interested in research because it most likely would come up in the interview.
Any other suggestions from anyone in how to go about writing this essay when I am so uncertain about so many things?
