[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why all the rushing and pushing? Looking back, as an MD for the past almost 20 years, I am really glad I took time between college and med school to explore other interests, do other things. There is so much burnout in medicine that I am concerned about these young ones putting so much pressure on themselves in high school to get into X college to get into Y med school to get Z residency. Med school and residency were by far the most diverse educational experiences I had with students and residents from a really wide array of education, paths, geographic and ethnic backgrounds. Those who had taken a little time in between had more maturity and perspective and resilience to handle the intensity of med school and residency.[/quote]

It's significantly harder to get into med school now, so the guaranteed programs are very popular. I'm European and it's getting insanely competitive there too - it's a global trend. Some programs have admission rates in the 1.3 % - 1.6% range now.  [/quote]
