Being a non-traditional pre med student, I find it very difficult to get good advice on planning out the rest of my academic year. I called the “pre-health” consultant, and I would have to say she was, hmmm.. Oh who am i kidding?? The lady absolutely sucked. You know right away an employee sucks when you ask for help and they just look so annoyed even though helping people is part of their job description.
“But what if she was having a bad day?” I totally agree and I think about that quite often. In this scenario or scenarios, she has been like this to me for the past few times we have talked. Now I am not having a fit, but would like to fill everyone in my shoes this. If you want help, you gotta go out and get it. You can’t just expect to walk in an office all the time and have someone hand you a plate of guidance. Information no matter what it is, comes with a price. That price my friend is resilience. It sounds kind of cheesy, but today I had to compare my classes I will be taking for the next two quarters and call every Medical School I want to apply to, and see if they will transfer over and be accepted. Usually advisers are great at this and they get paid for it, but we don’t have that luxury and we must do twice as much to get to medical school as Non-Traditionals.
I had a very tedious, but educational experience calling 20 medical schools. If anyone needs help on this topic, email me! Haha, Im pretty versed on it. Anyway, 90% of my classes will be accepted and the rest we’ll have to find out in a couple more days as I take a break from the cell phone.
