These past few days, I've been thinking about life in general: like, what I want to do after undergrad, what I need to prepare for, what path do I need to take, etc.
Some people tell me that they just go with the flow, and that it is not something that I should worry about or think too much about. I agree with them. However, as time goes by, there are things that I need to figure out soon such as: should I take the GREs (Graduate Record Examinations)? Should I take the CPA exams? Should I suck up to the professors whom I am sure I can get very good recommendation letters from? Or, should I just wait until after I graduate?
Obviously, option 3 is not really at my best interest. Option 1, however, is an option that I would like to look into. Maybe I should start studying for the GREs. GREs are standardized tests that are often required by graduate schools. In my case, I do not intend to go into an MBA (since I am a business major in accounting) or get a CPA license right after college because one, I do not have much experience in the business world, and my chance for internship-hunting days are almost over; two, I don't think I'd like to stay in that field for long. I decided recently that I want to be a doctor and physically help people.
Of course, I have to get my undergrad grades as high as I can manage. Aside from that, I have to get my GRE scores to the maximum. Well, maybe not to the maximum, but high enough to get me into a good post-bacc pre-med program. My dilemma is that I have NO experience in the health field at all, but I am hoping to get some when I get into the post-bacc program. My thinking is that it is supposed to be where I build my foundation.
So, that's what I've been doing for the past few days: researching on how to change gears from accounting to medicine, looking for good post-bacc pre-med programs, reading discussion boards, working at the library, doing my philosophy homework, and learning about the GRE.
Alls I can say is: not bad for a summer soul-searchin'
