Best marriage advice "I feel like if you're going to have 100 units of stress as a medical student, and 20 of it was on Step, 20 units of stress were on Step, they now have distributed that 20 units of stress somewhere else. You need more research, you need to do better on Step 2, you need to do better on your interviews, you need to interview at more places, or you need a better MCAT score.
