How was your educational journey towards landing a Career in the medical field?
I am an Undergraduate Biology major who is fueled towards a career in the medical field. I have always had a passion for this area of study, but I think that I lack the knowledge that I need. My question is; How tedious was the process for landing a career within the medical field like a Doctor or a nurse? If there are any Forensic specialists here, could you describe the steps to reach to such level? What would you have done differently back then before landing your career? What advice would you give to me, an International Student wanting to pursue a career in the medical field?

How do you enjoy life as a premed?
I really hate all the restrictions I have on myself as a premed. Basically all the things I did to get into college (fancy extracurriculars, stellar grades, 20+ applications, standardized testing, etc.) I have to do again to get into med school- but with a job on top of it. And I'm majoring in Computer Science, so that's yet another set of hardcore classes to worry about. To anyone who had to do the premed grind, did you enjoy it? How did you find ways to take it easy? #college #doctor #medicine #pre-med #physician #medical-school #pre-medicine #med-school

Are you able to wait a year before applying to an Ivy League if hoping to get accepted?
I was planning on taking a year or two at a local community college after my senior year to become a CNA or LPN. I was then planning on applying to Ivy League's to get my undergraduates degree in biology or neurology before going to medical school. Would my chances of being accepted into an Ivy League be the same if I applied to go right after high school or if I went to community college first? Or would my chances differ depending on when I apply? #college #doctor #medicine #biology #university #pre-med #neurology #ivy-league
As a junior in high school how can I choose a career involved with helping people such as healthcare(a doctor) without limiting my possible career options?
I have a passion for helping and advising people and seeing them get better, I'm strongly about attracted to healthcare but science and math are my weakest subjects which a good doctor would need to be strong in. I'm more interested in the patient care send administration aspects of healthcare. However I have other passions such as writing and don't want to limit my carrier options. #doctor #pre-med #pediatrician #career-advice #writer #helping-others
I have been set on majoring in Biomedical Engineering under a pre-med track for a few years and I was wondering how difficult it is to switch majors within an engineering department of a college throughout the four years of my undergraduate degree?
I am not quite sure if biomedical engineering will be the best fit for me and I won't know this until I try it out in college and I am worried that I will not be able to switch majors easily. I also want to study under a pre-medicine track which might make it more difficult to switch majors. No college seems to be able to tell me how difficult it would be to switch majors under a pre-med track so it makes me slightly worried. I was wondering if anyone had advice for that. #college #engineering #medicine #pre-med

Does publishing research on healthcare systems and reforms to the American healthcare system look good for potential pre-med students?
I am a sophomore in high school, but I will be writing a research article on the economics of the American healthcare system and I would also provide some reforms we could make. This piece will likely be published on Google Scholar and other political/STEM research journals. I want to major in pre-medicine or biology, but also minor in something related to politics. Since a research article into healthcare systems in America is a mix of both my interests in medicine and politics, would that be seen as good? #research #pre-med #science
AP Chem or Ap Bio? Elective?
It is around the time of the year again where I have to pick my courses for next year and I am stumped. I want to be a doctor, so I have been focusing on classes to take to help me in the future. I love both biology and chemistry (I got A's for Bio freshman year and an A so far for Chemistry). I am also debating whether or not to take Anatomy or physics as my elective and either AP chem or AP bio as my main science course. (I also consider the option of taking a physics class offered by a school near me) If anyone could help me that would be great! Thank you! :) #pre-med #doctor #health #medicine #chemistry #biology
What is social life like during premed and medical school?
What are your experiences going into medicine? I've been watching a lot of youtube videos lately, and everyone that I've watched so far spends practically the whole day studying. Is medical school actually non stop studying? I do understand that medical school is hard, but there has to be some balance between free time and study time. Watching these videos are getting me nervous... #medical-school #medicine #doctor #college #pre-med

Smith or Bates?
Hi! I need to take a decision and choose the college I want to go to for the next 4 years. I got admitted to both Smith and Bates and will be playing soccer at whichever one I choose. I also plan to do Pre-Med with a Biology major. I visited both schools and absolutely loved them. If anyone attended these schools or know more about them, could you please share your experience not only academically but socially as well?
