Anyone else not know exactly what they want to be when they grow up?
 
How far along are you guys? For me, I walked in on the first day of my last rotation and it 'clicked'.
 
I'm a third year and they keep talking about getting letters. Problem is, I don't know what I want to do and already feel behind.

No worries - you're still in the game. I chose my specialty in March of my third year, got letters in the summer.
 
This is probably the hardest part of the whole thing, unless you know before getting into med school.
 
I think it was around this time last year that I started to nail down what I wanted to do. No worries. 🙂
