hi all,
this is an unusual question.
i absolutely have the grades for med school, and i have been doing well on practice MCATs.
the problem is, i am worried that no one will take me seriously as a doctor. i try my best to act smart, but i have a fun/silly/(ditzy?) personality that i can't seem to turn off. people realize that i'm smart after they get to know me for a while, but not upon first meeting. im also don't "look" like a doctor, if you know what i mean.
are there certain specialties in which i will not be accepted? i dont believe in changing myself to fit a mold. i have ALWAYS wanted to be a dermatologist, not for the money, but because i think it's so interesting.
please, give me honest advice. i just need the truth. i can't change myself, and i know i'm just a fun/crazy person, but also VERY smart underneath.
thanks
