EDIT: today is one of the shittiest days ive had in a while.
The pressure is on.
Pretty much the next 6 months will show where I will be going for the rest of my life.
Medical School. I would have never thought of those words 3 years ago. 3 years ago i was getting trashed and not studying for tests. Sitting in my little dorm room with my one random, weird roommate without a care in the world. My GPA falling gradually after every semester. Now look at me, breaking my ass to bring it back up and it's still at a shitty number. January 26 is the day i take my MCATs and I'm nervous as hell. I've taken practice tests with very low grades resulting.
Yesterday me and my dad were at the bookstore, when we both fell upon the a book that gave rating to Med schools. I started flipping through the different schools and at every school I noticed something.
Number applied - 3,265
Number accepted - 310
Number applied - 4,293
Number accepted - 287
Average incoming GPA - 3.4 - 3.6
Average MCAT scores - 34-40
These are very intimidating numbers
These are my stats
Number of times applied to med schools - 0
Average incoming GPA - 2.9
Average MCAT score (practice scores) - 24
I'm scared

Relax, breathe, and take it slow, you still have plenty of time to drill it all into your head, you're a smart guy. Don't spend your day dwelling on who or what you used to be/do, spend it focusing on where you want to go and what it will take you to get there, you'll get through this just fine, hell you might even surprise yourself with your intellect. I wish you luck, either way, you're still one pretty kick ass fucker
