Dear cheerio:

You wrote that you get stressed easily: this is something very relevant to consider in applying to medicine- it is very stressful. You have to fit your plans to who you are and what your challenges are. There has to be a fit. You can decide to attempt something difficult.. but not too difficult, not more difficult than you can handle!

Can you talk more to someone studying medicine and get details on the schedule, the demands, how that person deals with stress to get more of a feel as to if you can handle yourself that kind of stress?
