Planning out the technicalities of getting to medical school deserves its own course in undergrad.
Some of us started this path with nothing but an end goal, quickly realizing we knew very little about what it took and what it meant to be a physician. But you know what, it's turning out to be okay.
Safe to assume, you are feeling similar things. A little bit lost, a little bit overwhelmed, a lot of bit motivated, and we are right there with you. You need a reminder that you are only human. Let our stories help.
What we have done is combined everything you need for medical school applications into one place. We did the scouring through admission websites and emails and Reddit, so you don't have to.
Now, we know the journey is the destination and what not, but it is also helpful to have some direction and insight.
So what are you waiting for? Use The Long App to your full advantage, as we promote transparency, efficacy and building confidence.
