Started my post bacc this week, so I am officially a "pre med". I'm ok with calling myself that as a post bacc student haha.

Taking Gen Chem and Physics this quarter and after years of doubt and being uninformed, I have officially taken the first step towards becoming a physician.

I wish luck to all of those starting pre reqs along with me. This won't be easy, but it will be worth it. Keep plugging along!

I know I'm not asking a question or seeking advice, but it's the internet...I do what I want 😉
 
I'm start being an official pre-med next week. I'm taking Pre-calc and chem. Part of me is actually really excited!!

Good luck to you too!! 🙂

Fixed the bolded part.

Good luck with the pre-reqs!
 
My original post shows a little more determination than just getting ready to apply. The end goal is to become a physician and the very first step is taking pre reqs, then MCAT, applying, acceptance, matriculation, med school, residency, etc.
