I've been applying to medical schools recently, it's really stressful because of how highly competitive it is to get in.
Congratulations! How competitive is it?
Well I think the acceptance rates are like 15-20%, but I'm not positive. They look at standardized test scores, college GPA, leadership roles, letters of recommendation, and you have to fill out this giant packet, it's nuts.
What type of medical doctor are you looking forward to being?
Well I'd like to be an orthopedic surgeon one day.
Wow! I have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon next week for a bummed shoulder.
Oh dear, I hope you can get that resolved well. I find the field interesting because there's so many different things you can treat; like sports injuries, infections, congenital disorders, musculoskeletal truma, it's so vast.
