. Evaluate your priorities and decide if medicine is right for you. Don’t go into medicine just because you already took the mcat..it’s a sunk cost my friend. Better to have wasted a month studying for the mcat than 4 years +residency +200-400k in loans just to find out you were right all along and didn’t want to go into medicinestill plan on going to med school, if for no other reason than because I did NOT go through organic chemistry and genetics and take the MCAT just for all of that to go to waste
Redoing an undergrad probably isn't necessary. MBA sounds like a smart move, as well as meeting and talking to people in the field. I agree with @Medpossible that if you can find a way to tie in your interests in finance to healthcare or medicine, that could potential help you make indirect use of your premed education.And what are my options for branching into finance? Doing an MBA? Trying to meet people in the field? Redoing undergrad for a business major?
What most of us think but can’t say when were asked “why medicine” at an interview hahaYou really don't need a passion for medicine or science to go into this field. I didn't have a passion for science, medicine, or helping people but medicine seemed somewhat interesting, I liked the prestige associated with an MD, and the money seemed good. Overall I'm happy with my decision. At the end of the day I work 40-60 hours a week, have most weekends and holidays off, and make a lot of money.
