rant

Hello. Today, I finished my last midterms...and I'm mentally dead. Despite clocking in tons of hours for the finals, the scores were all over the place: barely passing, passing (but not excelling) and some that surprisingly turned out well. I really wanted all of them to be decent (was used...

I felt like I had a good shot at medical school before I applied in the 2021 cycle. 3.8 GPA, 519 MCAT, good hours in clinical volunteering, nonclinical, and research, and applied to 24 schools. Right after submitting secondaries in late July/early August, my dad died. I didn't finish the...
