Hello, I was in med school till last year as a MS-2. I withdrew since I couldn’t take it anymore and the reason I gave was the excuse of leaving to pursue another field. I went through depression episodes after passing of a very close relative in 2023 which led me failing my first attempt at MS-2. After coming back, I was doing fine but I left at the end of the semester because the stress was overwhelming. Later, I was diagnosed with both ADHD and depression which led me to a lot of impulsive decisions at the time including me leaving. I have since been looking for a new path like applying to MHA programs and being accepted. However, working at a clinic as a MA made me realize I really want to become a medical practitioner no matter what.
I have since leaving school gotten treatment and gotten much better regarding my depression and ADHD. Should I reach out to the previous dean and tell him the circumstances to see if he’d readmit me? The old school doesn’t have an explicit Readmission policy. Should I retake MCAT and apply elsewhere with a better score to show proof of me fixing myself and showing my drive? What would you guys recommend? I have considered PA however I know that the lack of knowledge from being a PA would be worse than better for me.
