Can someone here redpill me on med school and medicine as a career?

my girlfriend is still a premed and we barely go out at all anymore. She still insists on seeing me as much as she can (which is mainly on weekends), but the relationship is kind of boring me. It doesn't help that I gave her the herp. She is stuck to me like glue, but what do I have to look forward to in the coming years?

Wait for her to start making good money. Have a kid, become a stay at home dad then divorce her and get them alimony bux.

At least if if you're in the US.

Finishing up my second year. So many fucking break ups here, man.

Yeah, it's rough.. I was pretty hurt by it but I got my shit back together a few days later because you know what? A girlfriend isn't something I was going to let get in the way of my life-long dream of becoming a doctor. I still do miss her though.

Advice for those younglings looking to go to med school: Don't expect the lavish [arty life like all the liberal arts kids will have. Don't expect your relationship to last unless you have very strong trust between you and your SO. Don't fall behind work.

And don't be "that one guy"..

I'm 32 years old and was a straight C student in college where I majored in chemistry. Is there any hope for me? Can I use ANYTHING from my shitty transcripts to save time?

no, it's too damn competitive. I'm sorry

Superb MCAT scores, community volunteer work, extracurricular stuff

Ive never volunteered anywhere or have ANY kind of experience. Im pretty sure it's totally hopeless for me but at this point if you had to give me advice, what would you suggest

you do realize EVERY applicant will have this right? Except, their grades will be perfect and their work/ECs would have been done far earlier.

you'd have to go back to school and retake/take more undergrad courses to bring up your gpa

combine this with everything else that is needed for med school, and at 32 you're pretty much over the hill man.

How much do you think you remember from those college courses you took a decade ago? Can you imagine taking the MCAT anytime soon?
