Hi guys,
I've just finished my sophomore year in college. I was talking to my cousin today. He was an occupational therapist who graduated from USC. I almost cried because he told me I wouldn't be a strong candidate. My parents are old and we are still in debt. I spent 2 to 2 and half hours on commenting back and forth each day. I can't move out because I can't afford the cost. I don't want to take loans because I have no idea how I will pay it off if I don't get into a pharmacy school. I can't work because I'll will ruin my grades. I hardly participate school events because I'm always busy with driving and studying. My cousin told me I should join a freternaity and get a leadership position. But it's really not my thing to join a freternaity. And I have a younger sister who will be going to a college as well, which means extra expense over all.
I currently have 3.3 GPA
Volunteering at a hospital for almost a year now.
I will be shadowing a pharmacist or even work at his pharmacy store this summer.
I will be taking the pharmacy technician exam this summer.
I actually joined a club called Global Medical Training. I went to Nicaragua this winter and volunteered to help rural communities. I took out my life saving and spent $2,000 on this trip because I wanted to expand my horizon and see how much the doctors and pharmacist mean to the communities. It was really sad to see the importance of medicine. But I am no longer part of the club because I can't afford a trip like this every year.
I am usually an optimistic person. But at this point, I'm really depressed and hopeless.
