Maj... Dr. Maj...

[Majin_You]

...well, not, technically, for another 4 years. However, I just got a letter in the mail this morning stating that I had been accepted to medical school. After a disgustingly drawn-out application process (write the MCAT, send in a lengthy application package along with 900 other students, stick it out through a 3-hour interview with 330 other applicants, and a 3-month wait afterward), I'm happy to put my undergrad "career" behind me and move on toward more professional training.

I have to say, I haven't actually felt particularly ecstatic about what I had been doing at university until now, as I've got a solid way to apply what I've learned over the last few years.

On a related note, is anyone else graduating/moving on to a more focused or specialized path? In all honesty, I can't remember where most of the active members were headed (noting, of course, that people can change gears pretty readily over the course of a year or two).

...and before anyone asks, I'll deal with "prescriptions" at a later date (I'm looking at you, Phobius!) =P

Congratulations. I got my undergrad in December of '06--trying to get into a masters Japanese program these days and taking classes at the USDA Graduate School (yes, believe it or not--the USDA has a grad school. )

ahhh, you'll come in handy in the future.

congrats, and try not to over-load yourself too fast.

 

[Barney]

You're going to be in school for such a long ass time and you're gonna have to pay so many bills. CONGRATS!!!

 

[SailorAlea]

Yes, and then he'll end up making $300,000+ a year and be able to pay off those bills?

 

[DaRkOwNs]

if you don't account for the some thousand ignorant patients that will try to sue him.

 

[Zeonix]

Maj left a pair of scissors in my chest. I demand justice.

And money. Lots and lots of money.

 

[Barney]

Yes, and then he'll end up making $300,000+ a year and be able to pay off those bills?

After maybe 10-20 years, yea. You have to intern for a long time still, and unless you go into private practice you're not going to be making that much when you're a starting doctor.

 

[Adaptus]

Doctor Mario, eat your heart out. ;O

Congratulations! :3

It's not nearly that long unless you're trying to become a psychiatrist. A normal doctor needs 4 years of med school, 2 year internship, 2 year residency, unless I'm mistaken. And even then, "not that much" is still a huge salary, statistically speaking.
