You’ve overcome many obstacles on your journey but haven’t gotten that acceptance yet. What’s holding you back? Should you try again?

As always on the OldPreMeds Podcast, our question this week was taken from our nontraditional premed forum. Ask your own questions at [ Ссылка ].

This week's student is a nontraditional premed who's already had a long premed journey, including an SMP and multiple application cycles without any interview invites. Should this student keep going?

In my answer, I discuss:
• How to decide if becoming a physician is still your dream and if you should keep going.
• The sunk-cost fallacy and why you should avoid it.
• Troubleshooting why this student hasn't gotten into medical school yet: 499 MCAT score? Lack of clinical experience? Other activities? Personal statement? School list?
• How to get advising on your nontraditional premed journey.
