NEED ADVICE: should I apply to PA and med school this upcoming cycle?

Hey there!

I’m just a little older than you and have almost double in student loans. I am looking at an MCAT retake and a reapplication this summer as well. I don’t personally think that any of these should be deciding factors if you are 100% certain of your path.

But, since you’re on the fence, unfortunately nobody can answer this for you.

With regard to your ability, you had an interview this cycle! That means it IS within the realm of possibility.

I would suggest making a ranked pro/con list, and being really honest with yourself.

The two biggest questions I’m seeing here:

  1. Would you completely burn out on the path to becoming a physician?

  2. Would you always regret not pursuing medical school?

Good luck :)
