I am a pre-medical student with a significant interest in podiatry. I have shadowed various physicians of many differing fields, but found podiatry the most interesting, by-far. Not at all to smear the profession, but I know many of the applicants of podiatric medical school typically do so because they couldn't get into MD/DO programs. I have the stats to get into some MD/DO programs (cGPA = 3.85; sGPA = 3.81; MCAT practice test scores have ranged typically between 507-511, take the actual test in a month), and many of my family members and friends want me to go this route, but I really want to pursue a career in podiatry.
My question for current podiatry students, whether they were in the same position as I am during the application process or not, do you stand by your choice of going to podiatric medical school after being there for some time now, and is it a profession you are thoroughly excited to be a part of?
Thank you
