Hello from Med School!

Hi, everyone!

It's been a while since I posted, but my reason is a good one--I'm in med school!

Keep plugging away, non-trads! IT IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT. First semester has been fantastic so far. I love the material. I love the camaraderie. I love the professors. I love the day-to-day goals and the overall goal. I couldn't be happier with my choice in school and my new career path.

Because Tanya, Aurora, and I are all in MD/DO school, we had to transform the club into an online support team. So please be patient in getting replies from us, but do keep sending us your questions. We will help as much as we can.

A quick note about what we can and cannot do... We're not advisors, so we're not going to review your individual situations, go over your transcripts and personal statements, or tell you where you should consider applying. However, we WILL share with you our experiences and our personal opinions. We WILL provide you with every resource we know of. We WILL encourage you and listen to your frustrations. We WILL give you specifics on how we got through the premed classes at UCLA Extension and how we got into med school. We WILL tell you, "NO, YOU ARE NOT CRAZY. YOU CAN DO THIS AND DO IT WELL." I don't write this to discourage you from contacting us; I write it so as not to have to disappoint you in our replies.

All right. That's it from me for now. I've got to study Gross Anatomy. I'll post again when I can.

Don't give up,
Sara
