What is involved in the transition?
Medical school applicants are usually in the top of their class, very hardworking, and driven individuals. Medical school is, therefore, a class made up entirely of students like this. It can be hard at first to deal with this. But it’s important to realize that everyone coming into this group has their own special qualities that makes them unique. It can take a while for you to find your own niche in the class but as long as you remind yourself how hard you’ve worked to get there, and not let the little things like a bad quiz grade or a difficult patient get you down, you’ll be able to make the transition. Look to your family and friends for support and be sure to continue to cultivate these important relationships to help build your own support network. Just keep the end goal in mind and you’ll do well.
