Start med school and get most of the way through. I won't be done in 5 years but I'll be starting 4th year or so. Similar to Marley, I plan on aiming for top 5 in my class, which given my extensive knowledge before actually beginning, seems plausible.

Also plan on doing research as a med student in some off times, so hopefully publish some papers
Also trying to publish a paper this coming spring once I get all the data, pretty excited if I can pull it off. Collaborating with a classmate/fellow lab worker to make it more comprehensive and increase chances.

That's about it.

Also @Mesy, same plan in terms of trying to become a PT on the side through med school. Haha for us, I feel like being swole and a medical student could land us a bunch of clientele.



Good way to make money haha
One of my buddies just scored a 37 on his MCAT and he has like a 3.9 GPA so he's going wherever he wants. I'm sitting at a 3.6, hopefully a 3.8 or so by the time I graduate, so I'm aiming for around the same MCAT score as him, even though I'd be happy with a 35 :P

Yeah, they do it differently down there lol I wouldn't like that much. Some places do 2 24 hr shifts a week, which would also be sick

what do they do, 1 on 2 off? or 2 on/4off?


Typical 2 week shift is something like..

Sunday Tuesday Thursday Saturday Monday

Then off 5 days in a row until that next Sunday. Basically if you ask for 2 days off for like a vacation or something, you get almost 2 weeks off and just work a few extra days the next week. All salaried of course.
