I started a special masters program in medical sciences and the program has a thesis requirement, which is required to finish the degree.
I have been accepted medical school and I am leaning towards not finishing because the school charges nearly $5k to finish the thesis. The medical school I was accepted to said they had no problem if I don't finish it. I just feel my money and time could be better spent.
Is there any way that this could affect me in my residency applications in the future? Do you think having a Master's degree could enhance my residency applications? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
