Wow! I did not expect to receive actual professional advice - thank you! For someone who has just received their B.S., this means a lot!

During my time off, the decision between med school and grad school has really been quite daunting, and I completely understand what you mean regarding the variables of a research profession. The aspect I am sure of is I am seeking a position with a clinical aspect whether that be strictly a physician or pursuing a research career that has a basis in the clinical environment (ex. arthroscopic surgery research). With that being said, I will be exploring all different graduate degrees as well as MCAT prep courses.

I will definitely be exploring the "steemstem" tag and the guide you included! So glad you commented on this post - your help is greatly appreciated!

Keep in contact!
