I am currently writing my Masters Thesis in Philosophy, and I am into Philosophy of Mind /Psychology / Psychiatry / Psychopathology. I finish up in Feb (eep) and am planning to apply to two PhD programs in the US in Jan. BUT: I need a backup plan so that I don't despair if my applications are unsuccessful. I have decided that I am going to apply to Med school here in NZ this October, and if I'm successful I'll get about a year of it in before moving to the US; and if the US turns me down I could be a psychiatrist in, oh, ten years or so :-)
I have been thinking about this for a while now, and I am not sure whether medicine is for me or not. I have decided that there is only one way to find out, though, and so have decided to go for it!
Wish me luck, A.
