This episode features an enriching discussion with University of Toledo College of Medicine student Avinash Rajasekaran. Avi completed his undergraduate degree in biomolecular science and a business administration minor at the University of Michigan and is now a third-year medical student pursuing internal medicine. This is another interview with a med school student in which I learned a lot about their application process, the rigor of medical school, common pre-med concerns, his take on some life lessons.

I believe many people will benefit from our discussion of his decision to pursue a business minor to pair with his degree in biomolecular sciences, his advice on pre-med extracurricular activities like volunteering, research, shadowing, as well as his hobbies, and his grounded advice and personal experience with MCAT prep, having taken it more than once, which I found very insightful. We also discuss the med school application process, different types of interview styles that schools use to test their applicants, and we reminisce about pre-COVID times in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan.
