So you’re in pre-med, and you’ve encountered a lot of dumb questions. If you’re not in pre-med and want to stock up on some bad questions, here you go.

1. “Aren’t you grossed out by the thought of cutting people open?”

Firstly, all MD’s aren’t surgeons and secondly, what exactly sounds disgusting about harvesting organs?

2. “Oh wow, you must be really smart to do that.”

Dedicated yes, genius, well…you said it, not me.

3. “Are you absolutely sure you want to be in school that long?”

Chances are, if you’re in pre-med, you love learning. Nothing will stop you from reaching your goal.

4. “Yeah, I know you love school but really…another 10 to 12 years? I mean, you’re going to be almost 30.”

I know it’s crazy. It’s crazy worth it.

5. “What’s organic chemistry like?”

MEAN SHAPES AND SADNESS.

6. “You’re giving up on a lot of amazing college experiences by being in such a hard major.”

Every Saturday stuck inside studying biochem and every sleepless night will be worth it if I can help one patient in the end.

7. “The MCAT sucks though, right?.”

Really? You could’ve fooled me.

8. “So you must love writing research reports and doing lab work?!”

L. O. L.

9. “How are you going to pay for all of that med school?”

Prayers and student loans.

10. “Do you ever sleep?”

Yes, almost a full two hours every night.

11. “So what do you do in your spare time?”

Probably think more about school.

12. “But you’re giving up/postponing falling in love and having a family?”

Whatever happens happens, and I can make time for family if I so choose.

To all pre-med’s who know what I’m talking about:
