Do male doctors typically date Certified Nursing Assistants, Certified Medical Assistants, phlebotomists or any woman with very little education beyond high school? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

23 mcat, high gpa, Chances and schools, Advice please!
Hey guys, so I really messed up with the MCAT. Took it once. MCAT was 23. 8/6/9 Both my science GPA is around a 3.65 and my overall is closer to a 3.8. I worked as an EMT in an ambulance for 2 years. Became a trained phlebotomist, then worked in a hospital's lab for a year. I've been doing research for about a year, but no publications. I am currently volunteering, and basically teaching classes for underserved high schools who cannot afford proper health education.
I plan to also shadow a...

Prospective GEM student, with many questions!
Hello.
Good day to you all, and I hope you are settled in your seat because this will be a long post! Well, this is the third time I have seriously contemplated studying medicine, and this third time, I have decided, will be the ultimate pivotal moment where I either commit fully to the quest or put it to bed forever. No half measures. Naturally, I would rather do the 'commit fully' bit, but for that I need your help. I need to allay a number of fears that could persuade me that a medial career is not for the good of me and my family.
My situation is this. I am 31 years old with an arts degree, and I have a wife and 2 c...
