Re: Pre-Med Students
FEAR is te best motivator .Boys generally are conditioned to be the provider ,not only for himself & his family but his parents younger brother sisters & poor relatives if any …More the burden more forceful the desire to work hard …That is if its just not too much to kill you before that by stress or heart attacks
Specialty you have many more years to think about if you are talkin about medical specialty .As to Major besides Biology in undergraduate which ever is your strength.It doesnt have to be medicine related directly .One girl majored in Dance & got admitted in premier medical school.Engineering to history to language ..whatever you excell in is good enough .
You better be prepared .Even though application to med school has been dropping 6% for last 5 years each year still its NOT easy to get in —U.S.. Medical schools .Roughly for each medical school seat close to 15-25 applicants will be applying even now .Hence dont take yourself seriously because it is just as good as to be in allied medical fields of Physical therapy occupational therapy pharmacy ,optometrist chiropractor (although its a BRAINLESS college) D.O. Prosthetist ,Orthotists,Speechpathologist,NURSING ..later on specialize as nurse practitioneer :K: Hospital Administration (akin to MBA) Social worker ,Dietetian (each hospital has dept.)…I am tired ![]()

motivation: insanely high salary, passion for science and interest in the human body, endless wonder at the perfection of nature. Also, caffeine helps, drive for perfection
specialty: dunno yet, maybe forensics or neurology ... or maybe cardiology.
back up plans : film - I know, not much of a back-up, I'm still looking at other options.
