Hello,
I hope I am posting this in the right section. I am about to finish up with my bachelor’s degree in health science and I am beginning to fill out applications for physician assistant programs. A couple of years ago I thought I wanted to be in medical imaging and was in a nuclear medicine technologist program. I quickly realized it was not for me and that I aspired to have a career that would go one step further and help to diagnose and treat patients. I withdrew from the program in the first couple of months and went on to a 4 year college to finish my undergraduate studies. My question is, how do I explain this to grad schools without it looking bad? I am worried they will see that and think I am unable to follow through. Thank you in advance.
