Hi everyone
I would greatly appreciate some advice on my current situation.
I just finished my first semester as a veterinary student and found that regardless of my countless hours working at animal hospitals, and believing this was the field for me, realized veterinary medicine is not for me in the end. I re-evaluated what I truly want, and from the beginning my passion from medicine stemmed from human medicine (in particular emergency medicine, as I was an EMT). I changed my direction from pre-med to pre-vet. Ended up getting into 4 vet schools my first try and ended up in my current situation. Because of all of this and because I did not go about leaving the correct way, I failed out and got dismissed. Either way, I would have left the program to pursue an MD degree, but because of how everything worked out I have a dismissal standing in my way of medical school. Does anyone have advice as to my chances of getting accepted despite my situation? Am I obligated to let medical schools know about this or can I not mention veterinary school at all. I was only enrolled for one semester..
thank you

This is more appropriate for pre-med forums. The admins who post there would be more knowledgeable about your issue.

Go to Caribbean vet school and save some time in realising you actually picked right the first time?

They will definitely ask what you were doing during that big vet school shaped blank space on your app. Being caught hiding/lying about that would be a very bad thing for your prospective career in human medicine.
