I have applied for medicine for 2018 entry. Still unsure about what to study. Likely to take a gap year. Need some advice please on how to decide - still struggling to make a choice even after weighing up careers/study/interests.
Did a gap year help anyone here make their final decision or were they still unsure after that?

I am in a similar position except I have always wanted to study a biology-based degree. The only problem is everyone tells me to do medicine because of my grades and they think I will end up with a better job.
The problem is my heart isn't in it, I have never wanted to be a Doctor or study biology on a clinical level.
My advice would be if you are not 100% committed to medicine do not do it! -

If you're unsure about medicine then it isn't for you unfortunately. It's the sort of thing that if you want to do it you will know. Otherwise it's a waste of time, money, several years of your life and a space at medical school.
