It's been a semester here. Pre-med at my school is notorious for being harsh as well as having slight grade deflation but I'm not going to make any excuses: I study my ass off here and I try hard on the tests and it's resulted in a 2.94 sGPA, 3.41 cGPA.
Maybe I'm overreacting at the moment because I took an intro to brain behavior class 17 hours ago and have a Bio exam in three days, but I feel like I have little to no way of getting into med school because all I do is study my ass off and get only low/mid Bs.
It's made me miserable here. Add to the fact that the atmosphere isn't my type here, that I've been heavily disappointed from my experience, that I haven't found my niche yet, that I've started therapy from all this... I miss all of my HS buddies who went to a state school and have higher GPAs than me with half the effort. And yet I can't transfer anywhere. I've brought it up to my parents and they screamed and said I have to stay at where I am. Probably because of the prestige. I feel like a trophy right now.
When I wake up tomorrow and see this topic I'll probably wonder what I was thinking, but I just had a huge mental breakdown and really, really need to vent. Say what you would like about me here because I probably deserve it, especially since I'm becoming the stereotypical neurotic pre-med now. I just want someone to say it will be ok, even if they don't mean it. I
