Okay...I'm studying at a top 15 university, but I transferred in as a sophomore this year.
My first year I was at a community college - made a 4.0 and took some of my pre-reqs (Gen. Chem with lab 1 and 2 and Gen Biology with lab 1 and 2).
I transferred here and my GPA dropped significantly. I currently have around a C- in Organic Chemistry, and I have a C in another class (non-science) and B's in two other higher level biology classes.
Also - I have no research or clinical (or even volunteer) experience since I've been in college. I can't find a doctor to shadow (I email them over and over and call and everything), I am sending in volunteer applications but I'm not sure if it's enough, and the only research job I applied for I didn't get, and it isn't even real research, it's a research assitant position.
This is only my first semester of sophomore year...I'm hoping to boost my GPA next semester (I'm going to really buckle down and study all day), but this first semester here has really been awful while I tried to adjust to the rigors of a top 15 as opposed to a community college.
Advice? Is it over? Am I too dramatic?
