despite what I just said, I will respond to this and I hope you actually read what I'm trying to tell you and realize it's not an attack.
I'm not trying to put you down or say you won't be able to do it. I am trying to tell you why you are offending people on this site who have worked hard to enter a field that they are very passionate about, but yet you seem to have very cloudy motivations for pursuing. Telling people that you're doing this just to help yourself isn't going to win you any points in a field the requires service to others.
I have continually said that you should focus on your studies and your activities, rather than posing hypothetical questions that are 12 years down the road. You have ignored the majority of the actual advice given to you.
You can plan all you want, which is fine, but you need to have a backup. And you need to be comfortable with the alternatives. You don't seem to be comfortable with any of the alternatives though, which is why I feel like you're going into medicine for superficial reasons and you don't fully understand what it will take to get where you want. If you can absolutely not see yourself being in debt, that is a problem and you need to be prepared to not get a full scholarship, despite how outstanding your resume may be in 4 years. If you can absolutely not see yourself in a residency that isn't derm, you need to be aware of the reality of what other residency and the matching process is like.
Work hard in college, keep doing your activities, and see where that gets you. If you truly want to practice medicine, then hopefully you will get there. But I do not suggest exaggerating and lying on your applications/interviews. Because if you are lying to them, then you're also lying to yourself, and that could mean that you're really not going to enjoy what you're getting yourself into. People who truly want to go into medicine do not need to manipulate others in this way.
