Ask a Medical Student Anything

Hey All,

I am a first year medical student at a medical school in the Northeast and an alumni of UCSD.

As acceptances are rolling in, I figure I would answer any questions to any newly incoming students or even current students who are thinking about applying to medical school or still deciding if it is right for them.

I was fairly frustrated by some of the pre-med advisors in my time at UCSD and felt that the best advice was usually from people who have gone through the application, themselves.

The pre-med route is a rough route and there are a lot of rumors and false information that flies around when pre-meds talk so it’s good to not be swayed by uninformed upper classmen about medical schools.

Enough of my rambling. Feel free to ask any questions about the pre-med route at UCSD!
