So one of the biggest reasons that I did not apply or think about applying to med school after getting my BS was because of my needle phobia. I couldn't look at them, use them, watch others use them, get stuck by them, etc. One of the biggest reasons for this is due to NEVER being vaccinated as a child. I never was desensitized. I instead applied to pharmacy school because I thought it wasn't mandated to give shots. I realized a week in that I would have to become immunization certified and so 4 months later I did it! Now that I finished P1 year, I want to go to med school because of several reasons--one being that I can deal with needles a lot better. Should I meantion this in my personal statement at all?
