Stress and Uncertainty is Prevalent Among Senior Ole Miss Pre-Med Students


Senior year can be stressful for all students. Pressure from exams and plans for after college can be widespread throughout the student body. However, for Pre-Med students, senior year is the most stressful time of the year, especially during the fall. Four years of non-stop work does not guarantee entrance into medical school. A long and arduous process comes with applying to medical school.

Not only is a high GPA required for acceptance, each student must also be involved in extracurricular activities. MCAT scores also play a major role in getting accepted. The application process can take months and then interviews take place soon after. One of the more popular schools that students apply to is Ole Miss’ medical school. Not everyone that applies is guaranteed an interview, and once the interviews are over, nothing is certain. The pressure of applying to medical school, taking the MCAT, and focusing on undergrad classes can be a burden that not many other students have to endure.
