I've decided that the most memorable experience from third year is when I asked a patient if anything was bothering them and they replied "Yeah, you."

Med students selling advice and bootcamps makes me so upset because all of the help I got when I was a premed was from medical students who just wanted to pay it forward. My advice for premed students: find the med student who isn’t going to charge you for their time!
