Hi everybody!
Firstly, I just want to say thank you to everyone who posts on here, because I don't think I would have had the courage to take the first step in applying for a post-BAC without reading some of these threads...making the decision to pursue a medical degree is intimidating stuff.
But what I'm asking here is for some advice on what to do, or maybe more importantly what NOT to do while juggling all of the activities that go towards applying to med school.
Background: 25, working 45-55 hours a week in business (marketing), applied for a post-BAC, and just got a volunteer position at a hospital.
So I guess what I'm wondering is, does anybody manage their post-BAC science-intensive courses, a full-time 9-5 job, volunteering, clinical research, AND ECs?!?!
And another thing: clinical research. I've looked up every thread I can find and still don't really know what is/how to get clinical research. Is this something that I should wait until I start my classes and use the school's network to find?
I hope my ignorance of clinical research doesn't set off red flags and make me unfit to be a doctor
Thanks everybody!
