Feeling like you’re drowning in O-Chem, extracurriculars, and MCAT prep? In this episode of the Jack Westin MCAT Podcast, Mike and Molly sit down with Dr. Sona Vasudevan, professor of biochemistry at Georgetown University and director of a top post-bacc program, to unpack why the pre-med journey feels so overwhelming — and what you can do about it.
We dive into:
- The hidden emotional toll of pre-med life
- Common mistakes students make with time and stress management
- Practical strategies for navigating coursework, applications, and burnout
- Why mentorship (or the lack of it) makes or breaks success
If you’re feeling stuck, scattered, or just plain exhausted, this is the episode for you. Don’t forget to subscribe and share this with a fellow pre-med warrior.
