Undergraduate / Common Application - significant experience, Chance [8]
I do have a very clear reason (and probably stronger than many other's) for wanting to do medicine which stems from exclusively wanting to save people's lives (especially Emergency medicine), although the origin of that reason is probably too disturbing and inappropriate for a common app essay (see: "revelation after seeing more and more of the graphically violent world we live in" part) and I would rather keep it . I know its pointless and self-defeating telling a person on the internet all that rather than putting it in an essay for the admissions to read but I intend to leave it that way.
I do agree with all your critique regarding sudden change in theme so will work on trying to express that in another way, or leave out the doctor part altogether.
I thought it was an or question therefore implying choice? I was simply following the instructions and will humbly stand corrected if wrong.
Anyways thank you very much for your critique and its great to have a voice from someone with knowledge in application procedures like you. :)
P.s. I am sure I would never leave medicine in 2 years, apart from if I fail of course :P
Switching from music to medicine hasn't happened yet, it is something you hope happens.

Also you do not explain any real risk or ethical dilemma that you were cognizant of.
