Hey guys and girls.

I entered Stanford at 16. It was a tender age to be among youngsters who are out of the house for the first time. Being exposed to alcohol and weed for my first time in college was not very conducive to my GPA. No excuses for my poor performance my first 2 years of school, I was just to young to be in college.

I completely screwed my first year. Mostly C's and a couple D's and one A and three B's.

My second year was not much better than my first year.

KILLED my 3rd year. Mostly A's, a couple B's.

Salvaged what I could of my GPA and I sit at a 2.7 cGPA and 3.1 sGPA. I sit for my MCAT on Sep. 2. I've been scoring 35-37 on practice test. I hope to replicate that performance on the real one.

I have one more year. I could pick up a second major in psychology or math and stay for a 5th year.

I been doing research and shadowed an eye surgeon this summer.

Have I completely screwed myself?
How hard are SMP to gain admissions into?
Should I stay a 5th year to boost my applications?
If I do stay a 5th year I think the max cGPA I could get would be 3.2. Do I stand a chance at American Med Schools after my 5th year?
