So, I've been pretty depressed lately because I had no idea what graduate school I really wanted to go to. I always felt that my grades were way too low to compete for MD or DO, and was even considering taking a year off to do something else.
In the last few days, I went to Arizona and visited my mom's friend, who's the microbiologist professor of A.T. Stills School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona. She is also part of the admissions office for the school as well, so I got a good preview of what to expect. The school is total awesome, and I even got a chance to talk with some of the students there.
Probably the best thing I learned was that I am still very competitive, and that DO might actually be the path I want to go towards. Nothing like a shot of encouragement to raise one's spirits.
