Unsure About Applying to Medical School? | Watch This!

Описание: It’s natural to start doubting yourself when it comes time to submit your medical school application. Are you qualified? Do you even like science? Will you look good in a white coat for the rest of your life? Applying to medical school can be very stressful, and it’s normal to have second thoughts as application season approaches. Concerns about your level of preparedness, the time and energy required to pursue a medical career, and the associated financial costs may cause you to question your choices. Here are four tips to help manage cold feet when applying to med school.

If you’re feeling this way, take time to reflect on why you chose medicine in the first place. Whether you were driven by a passion to help others after a family member battled a severe illness, or motivated by the intellectual stimulation medicine provides, reminding yourself of this initial motivation can help rekindle your enthusiasm and remove these doubts.

While it’s important to have support from other premeds who are in the same boat, it’s better to talk to people who have already been to medical school and can properly address your concerns. Talk to medical professionals at every stage of training to get a comprehensive outlook on what you should expect at every level.

Imposter syndrome is the persistent belief that you don’t deserve your success and have only gotten lucky to get where you are; at some point, everyone is going to discover you don’t actually know what you’re doing. It’s quite a common feeling among premeds and medical students who begin to doubt themselves despite their many qualifications.

Our last tip for medical school application cold feet is to be as prepared as possible when application season comes. The more prepared you are, the more confident you’ll be when applications roll around!
