Hello everyone.
I know that if you fail out of medical school (MD/DO), you are essentially barred from ever re-entering. Does the same hold true for podiatry school?
We have got a tremendous emotional support this week during orientations. They have worked to improve our confidence and offer various options of help. All this week's orientations made me feel better and feel like at home. Everyone is super friendly and offered help when needed.
We have got lots of tips for success.
Some of them are:
1. Don't procrastinate
2. Ask questions
3. Ask for and seek help right away
4. Don't wait until it is too late
5. Don't let bad test score make you feel bad
6. Find time to relax, get with your friends and take care of yourself
Don't even think about negative outcomes. Set your mindset on positivity, confidence and success. Tell yourself that you can do it.
A lot depends on your mindset. Talk to people with positive outlook.
We have had conversations with 2nd year students and from what I have seen that they all have life outside of school. Everyone is involved in some academic, extracurricular or sport activities. People have their own personal activities. They have time for that.
You will do fine. If you got to medical school, you are smart enough to go through the school. Just plan your time accordingly. Good luck!
