i have been constantly obsessed over good grades, which is completely normal for those who dream of med school....but at one point the other day i actually told myself if i get below a 3.8 i might as well just take it over again....then i thought about it and was like WOAH! you're such a dirty slimeball....there are kids in some of my classes who are struggling, really and honestly struggling to pass the classes and im here loathing a 3.79...ever wish you could have someone slap you in the face really really hard?

3.79 really isn't all that great... 🙄






















Just kidding! Just kidding! *Flame shield on*

you can never fail if you can set your standards low enough

that's when i take a backpacking trip to a third world country somewhere and meet other travelers from other countries. puts some more perspective onto things. it's all relative. in the world of premed, youre not a slimeball 😉

Yeah, I hate being a pre-med. My goal for this semester was to relax more when it comes to my grades and take the bad ones in stride. So far it's been semisuccessful but I'm resorting to my old stressed out ways as finals approach.

This thread would be a lot funnier if your name was jwilson instead of jwtaylor.

What's so wrong about wanting to do well? I'm so sick of people getting on me and calling me a nerd for wanting to have one of the higher grades in the class. I think you should continue to hold yourself to a high standard, there's nothing wrong with that. I mean, I only have a 3.74 and now I'm struggling to get more interviews. There's nothing wrong with expecting the best from yourself every time.

Come on and lean a little closer, jwtaylor and I'll knock some sense into you! 😛

you're not struggling to get interviews because you have as you put it..ONLY a 3.74 gpa. Are you freakin kidding me? Maybe there's something else in your app that's not working for the med schools but it certainly isn't your above average gpa. Give yourself a break. 🙄

Awesome. Greatest thing I've read all day.

🙄 It's not your GPA holding you back, I'll tell you that now. I don't think any school has a higher average GPA than a ~3.8.

Sounds like a Homer Simpson adage 🙄

um....you're joking, right? if you think that your GPA is holding you back from getting more interviews, then you're kidding yourself.
