Well, I am in my junior year here at FSU. I am taking the MCAT in april, so I have been studying for that. I have finished all the pre-reqs. I have awesome grades...~3.7 overall(not sure about science). I have got some good solid ECA's and am planning on getting more. And I relatively sure that, while my science scores on the MCAT suck now, that they will come up with practice and work this semester...so you ask why the post?
Well, I know I should feel awesome about the fact that I have a good shot at actually getting in to a medical school, and now I am not sure if it is really what I want. I have done a lot of soul searching and trying to figure out what it is that I want to do. I know I want to help people, with there health, I am just not sure how. I am and exercise science major and right now the prospects for jobs are great if I get a graduate degree, and I would still be helping people. I am just confused. Funny how life works, you bust your ass to reach a goal and you are almost there, but then you decide that it wasn't what you thought it was. It is kinda like how when you have a crush, if you dont get it over with and ask the person out, very often as time goes by you start to realize all the things you wouldn't have liked about them until you eventually decide you were better off. Has anybody else had these feelings at the last minute? How did it end up? What about finding out you are actually accepted to medical school only to decide that you really dont want to do it? I have more or less decided that I am going to continue with MCAT prep and take it in April. After that I just don't know. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
