You shouldn't be doing this for anyone besides yourself. It should be about happiness, because you will never be happy fulfilling someone else's dreams.It's not about happiness, it's about making sure I fulfill my family's expectations of me. I have nothing else in mind other than becoming a physician.
You posted last year that you had a 3.4x GPA. If that's still the case, it's really not as bad as youre making it out to be rnAt this point, I'm fully aware I'm not as smart as a pre-med student is expected to be, but I have to at least try, I guess.

I don't know, seeing and hearing what my peers have as their GPA, what I see on these forums, and the requirements I'm expected to have just be considered a competitive candidate for med school, it just gives me anxiety, as irrational as it sounds.

I'm a mediocre student who's lucky enough can get anything above a C
Must be getting lucky a lot to have your average between a B+/A-You posted last year that you had a 3.4x GPA
So, in a nutshell, I'm a **** student with a ****ter sGPA. I'm approaching my final semester as an undergrad and I'm tired. I'm a mediocre student who's lucky enough can get anything above a C at this point. I don't know why I keep bothering when science is not my cup of tea. Everyone around me keeps pushing me to "try my hardest" to "to stay positive", when in reality, I'm a complete ******* when it comes to understanding and memorizing biological and chemical processes and pathways I'm expected to learn. I'm just tired of feeling like a failure everytime I get my test grade back, even when I try my best. Maybe I'm not cut out to become a doctor if I'm finding science this difficult to grasp, regardless of my majors. I just want to feel accomplished and know I know I'm heading in the right direction, but I haven't felt that way for a long time now. Should I just give up on medical school? Be honest... I need to start being realistic with my intellectual limitations.

From the looks of it OP just frequents the forum looking for validation, or a place to let out his emotions. I'm not trying to be mean here but we can't do much from you across a keyboard and a computer screen. If you want change take our advice seriously and go do something about it. If you want validation and comfort, talk to your friends.
Alright. I come to these forums to remind myself that there are people with similar predicaments like mine who try to find solutions. I just feel like I'm not doing enough to improve my stats and yes, if it sounds like I'm venting, then I apologize for spewing my **** to the world. I'll stop trying to find validation for being who I am.

It's fine. At this point, I wish I could delete these threads so I can stop embarrassing myself any further. I knew the type of people I'd find on these forums. I can't relate with people who have stellar GPAs and test scores. I'm not even in the same league but that's okay, I've made my peace with it (not really but I can keep telling myself that.). I'm just going to graduate, see if I can work on my ECs and stop making excuses. It's not helping anyone in the long run.

I did not lie. The SDN user must have been referring to my past ****posts either earlier in the year or last year, I can't remember. My most current GPA stands at a 3.3 but that's not factoring in my summer credits from my home institution and my transfer credits that I completed at a local community college.
Either give up, or don't, but know this, SDN isn't Sad Diary Network.
Well, if you want to talk I'm here. I'm from a pretty similar family situation.I'm just going to generalize and say West African for anonymity.
I'm irrational like that. I don't think it's good enough, especially if it doesn't even meet the standard 3.5 average just to be considered.
The majority of black applicants with a 3.3 and 25 get in. Same with 3.1 and 28.I'm irrational like that. I don't think it's good enough, especially if it doesn't even meet the standard 3.5 average just to be considered.
