A window of opportunity 12 months ago

Well, here I am roughing it through undergrad and Im this close to completing my four year biology degree. My university has an accelerated BS/MD program which allows you to transition into their medical school after just two-three years of undergrad! I tried getting into this program but since I transferred, I was advised to retake all my core sciences courses(Bio 101/102, Gen Chem and Ochem). I didnt want to do that cause that would set me back a whole year! Yet when I think about it, being in that accelerated program is the way to go!
As divine intervention would have it, a friend of mine who happens to be in the program and will be going to med school next summer told me again about the accelerated program and urged me to try and get in no matter the cost. It was as if a ray of hope had flickered in on my mind and it actually seemed quite tangible! Of course, I’d have to retake all those classes! However, wouldnt it be worth it, rather than doing all the extra curricular activities and research and competing with thousands of applicants for a spot at med school when I can just complete this accelerated program and be guaranteed a spot in me alama mater’s med school?! Im gonna give it a shot!

My sights on going to med school are beginning to get blurry. Doubt is setting in and this lifelong goal is suddenly seeming unattainable there are are so many obstacles rearing their ugly heads in my path. I need some encouragement!



Pediatrics 2 years ago

The health of children has always been something Im passionate about…I hate to see kids sick or deprived of basic health care so I want to become a Pediatrician one day.
