ALL THE INFO

Let's Break it Down, Shall we?

The road to college is not a walk in the park. The journey to medical school is not easy. The pursuit of a medical degree and residency spot is one that will test your limits in ways you will have never imagined. But, it is worth it. This race is an extremely rewarding race to run and one that you are very capable of running to completion.

Everyone's route will look different, some will have planned or unplanned pitstops (aka gap year(s)), while others will "Pass Go and Collect $200" almost instantly (aka starting right after college.) ​

Statistically speaking, not getting into medical school on the first try is by no means career-ending. In fact, the AMA reports the average age of students starting medical school is 24! So, please do not be discouraged by this extensive process or "pit stops" in your 3, 5, 10, etc. year plans.

Not too long ago, I was in your shoes. I was a pre-med student with so many questions just trying to keep her head above water as a Biological Science major at UGA while working to "beef-up" my med-school application. My hope for this blog, website and social media platform is to be a raw, reliable and encouraging resource. I hope my transparency and inability to sugarcoat life's ups and downs offers you a sense of comfort that whatever your path to medical school looks like, it is the right one for you! 

INTRODUCTIONS
ARE IN ORDER

Hey y'all! My name is Merritt and I am so pumped you're here. For those familiar with the Enneagram, I am a 1 wing 2. So, it won't come as any surprise to you that in addition to wholeheartedly pursuing the field of medicine, I also love helping nurture that same drive in others. Mentoring the future generation of healthcare professionals has quickly become a true passion of mine, and I am so excited to be a resource, cheerleader, and advocate for students + health & fitness!
