I know that this is a very competitive field? That's a crapload of money, obviously, but I know a fourth year at my school who didn't match allopathic.
A career in this field is through the allopathic match.

I would...

Med school exams are hard, Shelf Exams are often harder, and the USMLE is an absolutely nerve-racking marathon of a test. I have heard (and noticed) that using ADHD medicines (stimulants) prior to tests is pretty common, even without prescriptions. This...

Do I think it's unfair? Not really.
Do I have a problem with med students using those drugs? Not really .

I certainly wouldn't avoid med school because you're a little uneasy... .

In other words, how far would you live...

My parent s house is 45min away.
I have the same dilemma.
