<p>I can’t speak for the other posters, but I was not offended by anything you said. I’m sure you’re a smart and dedicated student. However, you probably have no idea how hard medical school is going to be. I can almost guarantee you that it is going to be a lot harder than you think. You probably know that your first two years you will probably be in class from 9-5 and then come home and study for hours. Your last two years of clinical clerkships you may be on call overnight and have long and unpredictable hours. Who will take care of the dog then? Twomules is right.</p>
