I mean it ranks very well and the school itself has some very good research output. I need to reiterate, it's a 6 year degree and not 4 years. The workload is about the same for al…

My dream is to improve & develop new machine learning algorithms. Weather I'd do this as a researcher or through a private company doesn't really matter to me. It just seems to be …

Thank you for the thoughtful response. Switching to medicine is something I've been contemplating for a couple of months and though about all pros & cons, best-, worst-, average-, …

This is very good advice and I feel like you've gotten at the heart of the issue. The way you frame it makes it obvious to me that what you're saying is very true, and is not somet…

Thanks for the response! Interesting comment :) I do however suspect that the "entitlement" you see among medical students has more to due with societal prestige than selection pro…

OP here. To be clear, I'm referring to studying in school and not career-work. In my country it would be very non-controversial to say that the program I'm currently in is signific…

First of all, thanks for your input and sharing your experience. I think I'm a similar position to you for as so far that I don't really love math enough. My main motivator for doi…

It's sort of the problem I'm facing here. Research in machine learning is weak in my country, so I'd probably have to apply elsewhere. Medical research here is very good though, so…

This is the situation I'm in. I feel like it not be feasible for me to keep up with the very high workload for another 4-years, hence why I'm considering switching to medicine. I k…

OP here. This is country dependent. From most I've heard medicine is one of the or the most difficult program to study in most countries workload wise. In the country I live it's q…

I made a similar thread a week ago but realize that it was far too long and unrelatable. To keep things short, I’m currently a very difficult 5-year math & CS program in a small Eu…

Thank you for your comment. My main goal isn't to become a physician but rather go into research but it's still something I think I'd enjoy if things don't work out. Out of curiosi…

I'm currently a freshman at a difficult 5-year math & CS program in some European country. For the past two months I've been contemplating switching to medicine/medical school but …
