Struggling with rejection and questioning your future in medicine? In this episode of The Rejected Pre-Med Podcast, I chat with Sachi, a former pre-med student who found an unexpected yet fulfilling path after not being accepted into medical school. Sachi's journey led her to the prestigious University of Oxford, where she discovered a new passion for creating a thriving newsletter for health science students.

We dive into the emotional and mental challenges of facing rejection, dealing with burnout, and navigating the uncertainty that comes with reevaluating career paths. Sachi shares practical advice on maintaining mental wellness during tough times and how to pivot when you realize your original plans might not be the right fit

This episode is a must-listen for pre-med students, former pre-meds, and anyone in the health sciences questioning their next steps. It’s a conversation about embracing rejection as redirection and finding success outside of medical school and graduate programs.
