What was your Pathway to Medical School?
This may not be common amongst many people, but if applicable, would you tell me how you got into medical school (starting from high school)? This will definitely be a long question, but I felt that it would be helpful to many students and aspiring individuals looking for motivation or a pathway to get into med school. Additionally, I do have the means and pre-requisites to apply to med school, but I do not believe that it is the right choice for me(as I've hated biology ever since freshman year). Any input from qualified individuals would be appreciated! #doctor #medicine #healthcare #premed
