I am 3rd year med student and I am interested in particular specialty ( a bit competitive/small) and know few of faculty and have done research in it. I have only done 2 week of electives in it and I am finding it hard to determine suitability / fit? I am interested in subject matter and really enjoy studying about it, and have ref letters/research in it but now questioning if I am suitable and fit for a particular residency in that specialty because of my limited experience in it... I also probably won't be able to do more electives due to COVID restriction ( and I am in a 3 year program

I will finish med school with huge debt, almost 70k. I had no financial support during my med school and undergrad and I used up all my savings to pay the tuitions for the first two year of med school. I'm wondering how long it takes to pay debt. Currently, I have no dependents and no one to support but myself so once I graduate, I was planning to put most of my savings into paying my debt.I was wondering is that what most people try to do? Do u try to pay ur debt as soon as u can throughout ur residency so it does not accumulate interest?

I'm finding it difficult to stand out in medical school because everyone around me is amazing. In fact, sometimes I question how I got into medical school in the first place. A big portion of my class has Phd's and Msc but I just have an undergrad degree. What makes matters worse is that before med school, I have always been interested in doing surgery and now I am questioning my ability to succeed and my ability to be a competitive applicant when it comes to matching. How do I deal with these feelings? Do I really need to stand out amongst medical student crowd to get into surgery?
