How did you prepare yourself, as a student and an individual, for the MCAT?
Being a high school junior, I have experienced scheduling studying for the ACT with regular high school life. However, how were you able to balance such an imposing and important test, the MCAT, with college life? How were you able to find time to do things for yourself and offset that with preparing for med school? #medicine #mcat #doctor #physician #family-medicine #medschool #medical-school #graduate-school #college

Should I double major in music and microbiology?
I'm a rising senior and I am thinking about becoming a physician assistant. I have been playing french horn since 6th grade and also have a big interest in medicine. The problem is that I am not sure if I should double major in music and mcb or just microbiology. I want to have enough time during my undergrad years to join clubs, shadow other PAs, potentially conduct research, perform with an ensemble, and have a lively social life. Will this be possible if I double major or should I just stick to one? I feel that as a double major, I will stand out from other applicants applying to PA school. #college-major #music #medicine #physician #healthcare #doublemajor #physicianassistant #july20

What extracurricular experiences (beyond academics) do you believe were most beneficial in helping you prepare for and enter medical school?
I plan to apply for medical schools within the next 2 years and am curious as to what has been most helpful for others (in their personal opinion) to gain acceptance. I often hear that while grades and honors are important, there are many other things that admissions committees look for in an applicant. As a psychology student, I also wonder if extracurriculars will be even more important for me as I don't have as strong of a biology/chemistry background. #medicine #physician #medicine-school #extracurriculars #admissions #application #academic
What is it like as a physician assistant?
I'm very interested in pursuing a career in the medical field originally as a physician in the hospital, but many people have told me that it's not worth going to medical school for such a long time, and to become a physician assistant instead. They listed a lot of reasons like having better hours, getting a chunk less(taken out) out of your paycheck because of not having to pay as much for insurance to cover you because you're not the actual doctor making the calls, and so on. None of these people were actually in the medical field though. So, I have a few questions to find out what's actually the real deal with being a physician assistant. What are the differences between being a full physician and a physician's assistant? Do you actually get paid a lot less than a physician? If so, Is it frustrating to be know that you're basically doing the same job as a full physician, but getting paid less than them? What would you say are the pros to the job? The frustrations? If you wanted could you travel to different places because of your job? (like a traveling nurse) Do you spend more time with the patients than the doctors? (I'm a people person, so I'd like to have a lot of patient interaction) Your favorite part of being a physician assistant. Thank you! :) #doctor #medicine #physician
