Just finished my first 3 years of med school in sweden, unless i want to move to bumfuck nowhere theres a 12 month wait list for residency, and since i have a GF and an apartment i don't really feel like moving into the boondocks.
Thinking about studying abroad instead, have gotten an offer at some hospital in adelaide australia, and one in santa barbra CA.
But im afraid of taking that step, since that would mean i probably have to break up with GF etc.

Pretty much two options.
Continue with doctors of physical therapy which is the the longer + expensive route.
Or I can just take some short courses on nutrition and weight loss then start a "health" clinic back in muhthirdworld country.
Thanks btw.
What do you think?
Shit I even thought of going to wichita falls to learn from the man himself

Do both. If there is a demand for that in your country you'll get a massive case load (that may be becoming more important in general) and business experience. This can open a lot of doors for you. I can't tell you either way tho whether the education is worth it, physical therapy seems to be flooded atm but not with quality

Just so you medfags know, every time I hear someone say the phrase "doctor or lawyer" in ANY context, my reaction is always "why the fuck is banker not included with doctor or lawyer"

I don't like that kind of attention at all tho..I'm thinking about roiding next year but I already look pretty big in normie clothes and its kinda weird to be aesthetic when everyone around you is either skinny or small ottermode. So that's the main thing holding me back.
Gonna be a urologist or anesthesiologist probably later btw.

This was 3 years ago. I'm finishing my prereqs this semester and I've applied to PTA (physical therapist assistant) school again, I should get my acceptance/denial letter literally any day now.
I realize that I need to be fit AS FUCK if I want to be taken seriously. I'm poor as fuck and my weights are 1 liter water bottles/bands left over from my PT. I want to get fit and be strong so I can help others like I was helped. But first I gotta git gud myself.
>>36468165
Thanks man.
I had difficulties applying for PT in USA since they required 30 hrs minimal volunteering experience in physical therapy clinics (which dont exist where I live). A cool dude hooked me up recently and I'll finally be able to rack up those hours.
>>36468208
All of my friends did renewable energy at Aus and I have to say their job is fun.
If you find it boring, what's stopping you from transferring to med?
>>36468208
Depends who you talk to.
Maybe it's because you're 22. So girls around your age wouldn't really care how much you make (yet)
>>36468312
Since when does being a PTA require you to be fit .. being a PT is a decent but not really high level education. Being a PTA is just a really simple job.. if you get rejected its probably got more to do with your accomplishments as a person which judging from your post are lacking completely..
>>36468218
Thats because they control the world
You dont hear people talk about JP morgan or Chase or Universal studios
they just know Disney and other shit
you guys are in the background raking a shit ton of money no one knows you exist besides yourselves
>>36468284
Lol really?
Its not like you're being a douche about it. Normally when you look like you lift, people associate that with a lack of IQ but clearly thats not the situation in your case.
Stop giving a fuck about what other people think man. If you wanna be a fraud go for it. At least you'll know how to it with minimum/no side effects.
>>36468312
Mirin dedication bruh.
Keep applying and don't give up.
At the very least, get a pull up bar. You can get a decent physique from just pull ups.

Thankfully, no. I eat a lot of beans when meat isn't on sale. My place of employment closed in July and I haven't found work since. My unemployment has run out and it's getting tight, but I know the value of good nutrition. Thanks for the 'mirin, I'm not giving up.

What should i do? I'm honestly a better MD PHD applicant due to 3 years of research, 4 publications (a 5th in review, first author), and less volunteering/clinical experience , but need to retake the [new] mcat to have any chance at all for an mstp program and don't have time to dedicate this semester since I'm a TA and in 5 classes.
>>36468400
Don't give up, dude. I hope you don't have to move country, but if you can manage, it could be an incredible experience.
>>36468489
What's the problem with the new MCAT? Is it totally different from what you've been preparing for?
>>36468489
30's not great, but its not shit either. If you look up student doctor forums, plenty of them got in with less than that. You haven't even tried applying right? There's your answer.
>>36468467
No worries and good luck m8.
>>36468545
I have to move country. Medical education/university eduaction is judged on your HS grades here and there's no fixing it. At best I can retake some HS STEM courses and apply in a country that don't require HS GPA as an application requirement, just an admission test.
>>36468400
If you're not good enough to get into med school you're probably not good enough to be a doctor...
>>36468545
Biochem and psych/soc - hate biochem and haven't taken any psych/soc. I could maybe take it mid July but that would put me kind of late in the cycle.
Also have serious attention/discipline issues lately due to depression that has developed as a result of feeling aimless and end of last relationship mentioned in my other post. I think i need to talk to a therapist or something - brother has diagnosed bipolar and dad has dealt with depression for most of adulthood. Meanwhile I'm the golden child who's supposed to change the world and here i am going to grad school because i don't know wtf to do with my life.
>>36468577
I hope you have some sort of support network. You can make it if you don't, it sounds like a scary thing to me. But I'm sheltered in America, I have no idea what the Italy or Hungary are like. Best of luck to you, whichever path you take. I'm sure you can do it, I just hope it's not a total struggle for you.
>>36468609
I am good enough. I just wasn't good enough when I was 18. My HS grades are god awful but that was six years ago and I've grown a lot as a person and student.
>>36468628
Yeah tons of Norwegians study in Hungary and Poland because it's so hard to get into medical school here.

I've been through extensive therapy and I'd recommend it to anyone, even those who don't think they have a "problem" and especially those who do. There's nothing like talking to an objective professional in a private space. In addition to some CBT and EMDR, my therapist helped me to learn to use mindfulness meditation in my everyday life, and over a year after my last visit it's still having a huge impact on me that I wouldn't trade for anything. Check it out, find out if you can get it for free or for a reduced rate if you don't have insurance (there are databases for such community services online).
As far as the new MCAT stuff goes, I would talk to someone or read up on exactly what to expect. Can you only take it once every so often? Would there be any harm in just taking it, seeing what happened, and trying again later if need be?
>>36468577
out of interest , how old are you chief?
>>36468489
>jerk off in grad school
>don't have time to dedicate
Pick one. Honestly dude, if you really want to get into med school you'll sit the fuck down and take the new MCAT for a more competitive score. MD/PhD is competitive for a reason, competition is gonna be unforgiving because it's pretty much the only guaranteed free ride in med school apart from signing your life away for lolArmy residencies.
Also don't listen to >>36468566, there's no point in applying as a litmus test because if your application isn't 100%, you won't get interviews/acceptances anyway and your next application will be regarded as a reapplicant so you're put under even more scrutiny. Get it right the first time.
