How is medical school different from undergrad and what are some pieces of advice that would help pre-med undergrad students get accepted to medical school?

Is the process of going to college, med school, residency, etc., worth it, or is a safer career option a better decision financially?

I am a High School Senior, and have always wanted to be a doctor. I am struggling to decide between my state school (UMD), which is much cheaper, and UNC. At UMD, I would study engineering, giving up on my dream of becoming a doctor, while at UNC I would study biology on a pre-med track. #Spring25

What should I know before pursuing an education in medicine?

Did you learn anything about yourself that deterred you from getting a career in the field? (e.g., patient interaction, fear of blood, etc.) And did you change your field because of that, or did you push through? I'm a high school student looking to pursue a future in medicine, but I'm worried...

How do you decide which medical schools outside of your state of residence you should apply to?

I know that applications can be expensive, so how do I determine what places outside of my state I have a good chance of getting accepted into?
