What are good extracurricular activities to have for a medical school application?
My biggest mistake with high school was waiting too long to begin things thus the depth of my application for college was nonexistent. I am an entering freshman for college but I do believe that there may be things that I can begin to do now so that I can begin to shape my medical school application. I am set on the path of becoming a medical surgeon, and medical school is the next big milestone. Applying to undergraduate universities took a big toll on my mental health as the results were not what I expected. I would like to get a head start before I go through that process again. #medschool #science #schooling

Is it harder for D.O.'s to get the same respect as M.D.'s?
I've recently become interested in #osteopathic #medicine. The philosophy of treating patients as a whole instead of just symptoms appeals to me. However, I've heard that it may be hard for D.O.'s to find residencies that are not biased. I hadn't even heard of D.O.'s until a year ago, neither have many people that I know. Will this effect how I will be seen as a #doctor? #premed #premedical #premedicine #physician #medical-practice #medschool #medical-school #holistic
What alternatives are there to med school aside from adjusting previous results and or reapplying?
"What alternatives are there to med school aside from adjusting previous results and or reapplying?" Currently doing my GCSES, with currently undiagnosed dyscalculia (neurological impairment for maths), which will be looked into after, and I know that the medical field is extremely hard to get into. I do have the capabilities and the mindset, but I do not want to base my entire self worth on whether or not I get into med-school so would like some alternative ideas. My mock GCSES were mostly 7-9's, but have gone up significantly into the 8-9 boundaries over time. The only exclusion to this was maths, due to my learning difficulties which set me at a 5 in the mock. This appears to however, gone up to a 7, though I do have a large insecurity on my actual ability here since it's extremely paper based. I do 10 GCSES in total. I plan (atm) to do for A levels (aiming for psychiatry roles): Biology, Chemistry, Physics +EPQ OR Biology, Chemistry, English Aside from if I'd be able to get into medical school (I've done lots of research, but if you do wish to comment I wouldn't mind for any extra information), just wondering what other jobs I could get into, the fields I'm particularly interested in are: Biology Chemistry - enjoy the idea of helping people - enjoy research/investigating - dislike office work (but will cope with it haha)
Careers in biology other than being a physician?
Hi! I'm a junior in high school and I'm extremely passionate about biology and science in general. I've done a few research projects in various medical labs and think that health and medicine is a field I would like to pursue, but the idea of being a surgeon or physician of any kind does not interest me as much. I'm worried that if I major in biology, the only available path after graduating would be med school and I was wondering what other options were potentially out there? #biology #medschool #doctor #research
Medical School req
I'm currently 3rd-year human biology and minor in psychology My goal is to go to medical school but my GPA isn't the best. I'm planning to take the MCAT next summer however, I'm told by my school advisor that I got no choice but to change my career plan because medicine isn't for me. I was planning to study for the MCAT as well as try to gain more experience during this summer. My question is whether having a low GPA would affect my acceptance to a medical school. I know medical school is highly competitive but I don't see myself doing anything other than a physician, I've had an immense passion for the medical field since an early age since I have a brother who is paralyzed, and I've witnessed his struggles Any advice on what I could do #school #medicine #medschool #physician
Will I know when my major/career is the perfect fit for me?

Calling all physiatrist, ER doctors and primary care physicians!
I'm debating on going into medicine and narrowed it down into three choices. Do you mind telling me what you do in your career? How are the people you work with? What was your pre-med degree and what was it like in med school? #doctor #medicine #medschool #medical-school #physician
What is medschool like? What is undergrad like when you are going to go to medschool after?
How are the classes taught? What is expected from me in medschool? Give me a day to day life in detail. These have all been my biggest questions for the past 2 years and I don't ever know who to ask because I have never known or had an opportunity to ask someone who was or is going to be in college for surgery. I'm 17 and im going into my senior year in 3 months, so this is all right around the corner. I am almost certain that I have clinical executive dysfunction. How on earth do I succeed with that?! I'm neurodivergent and have severe ADHD and the unknown is so terrifying when becoming a cardiovascular surgeon is my literal dream since I could read. I am not a great student at all. I was homeschooled until 9th grade, and it was a very laid back type of homeschooling so I didn't have to stick to deadlines or really have any assignments. I just really read books on topics I was interested in. I'm bad a math...like real bad, and I go to a prestigious private school. But it's small and liberal. My school doesn't teach traditional stuff. They teach the type of school work that takes hours to complete one homework assignment and it graded on arbitrary concepts. I'm really good at science but I have never gotten an A in my science class because my science teacher teaches her classes phenomenon based. It's not all memorization. It's a very understanding and lenient environment. I also have a horrible, debilitating dopamine screen addiction that I have been teying to break for 3 years now. But im still struggling. How do I do college and how do I get to where I want to be with all of my issues, and what the hell is college? Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
How important is it to be an extrovert to become a doctor?
I want a career in the medical field. I love school and am very interested in the sciences and medicine/biology in particular. I am also shy and not sure I have the 'people skills' needed to become a doctor, which is what I believe I want to do. I need to know if I am better off pursuing something else. #medical-practice #medicine #medschool #introvert
