<p>what if you dont get accepted by none of the schools that u applied too, than what do u do? someone help.</p>
<p>try, try again. Did you select the wrong schools for your credentials? Evaluate your list.</p>
<p>Alternatively, enter another profession. Premed students are credentialed for careers in biomedical research, dentistry, nursing, physician assistantship, etc. Goodness, there's a long list. Radiology technicians, physical therapists, optomotrists, office managers. I don't know why everybody on this board is so down on teaching. Per hour, you get paid extremely well!</p>
<p>Consider schools that train doctors of osteopathy (D.O. schools).</p>
<p>Finally, many jobs don't care in the least what your major was, as long as you can establish that you can do the work for them.</p>
<p>im just starting college so its good to know that u can still try, to go even if they dont accept you right after u finish four years</p>
<p>Is it looked down upon to take a gap year and then reapply?</p>
<p>Gap year no. Reapply to the same schools, yes. Not that it's a dumb idea, necessarily - I mean, if you really want to go there, knock yourself out. But know that that's one of the very first things medical schools will ask you for.</p>
<p>Some people go and get a Masters and try again for Med School and are successful. My orthodontist is a BS MS DMD. You would probably get a masters in your "concentration."</p>
<p>I read the post on different careers for people who don't get into med school. Could you list salary and degree requirements to get into biomedical research or other carees best-suited for pre-meds who didn't get into med school.</p>
<p>hey bluedevilmike, what field in medicine are you going to do?</p>
<p>You don't pick a specialty until your third year in med school, which is still six years off for me.</p>
<p>6 yrs? I thought you got in this year...wouldn't that be 2 years?...I'm confused lol</p>
<p>After second year, I'll be deferring for three (or possibly more) years for other pursuits.</p>
<p>so is first two years more textbook based? Like in college? And do you go into clinical stuff during third and fourth years?</p>
<p>Roughly, yeah.</p>
