Yeah but if you mention your premed or tht you want to go to med school people just immediately start summing you up to see if your going to or not. Saying your premed is a big statement. I feel like its saying that your confident you are gonna go to med school and there are really high standards associated with medical school that are really tough to meet. In reality its much more than just meeting some standards. Its really fistrating cause its easy to get up in he neroticism.
I think it's much more appropriate to say, "I'm majoring in x", and if asked what you want to do with that, say, "I'm hoping to apply to med school". I think that isn't presumptuous. I see how the term pre-med seems overly cocky.
