hello everyone,
most of you already know who i am. i am a soph at uni. of the pacific. i am seriously Doubting myself about getting into med school. i know for sure that this is THE only thing i want to do...medicine. i have lousy teachers...for bio and math. i barley have a 2.0 gpa. i got accused of disrespecting my teacher b/c i didnt take my test on mon instead of fri. why u ask? b/c i was studying for finals, had a paper due the next day and she needs to realize i have 3 other classes (genetics, hist of med, physics). the teacher practically told me that i was gonna fail the class and not to bother taking the test over again or the final. what kind of rude a$$ teacher says that. i havent heard from anyone that teacher basicaly suggested "u got no hope kiddo." she let me take the test over again though, but i eneded up getting an f in the class. I got a D in physics...why b/c the teacher is racist against pakistanis and indians...i found that out AFTER i busted my butt to get enrolled in the class. however, proving he is racist will be heard if i reported him. hmm..what else has gone wrong...oh yes, last year i got an F in math as well...different level. reason: teacher didnt know how to teach, i taught myself whatever i can, read the book, everything..didnt work, lousy book, no office hours or phone number or returns back cals, b/c she was a part time teacher. I AM REALLY LOOSING IT. I NEED ALL THE SUPPORT I CAN GET.

for u desi's out there....i think muhje nazar lagay.

hey look on the bright side, you didn't fail all of your classes. that D shows improvement so keep at it and maybe you can be a great doctor!
 
hmmm-- don't take this the wrong way, but there are a lot of careers in medicine. you don't have to be a doctor to be involved in medicine.

you need to make something happen with those grades. you won't be in college at all, much less go on to graduate schooling, if you can't keep some As, Bs, and Cs. Grades surely aren't everything, and if you have the heart, I commend you. But there are some hoops you have to jump through, and your grades is a big one... so study up, research into your profs and make sure they aren't racist or jerks or whatever. Get tutors. Take initiative!

good luck

Dunno why I am laughing at that comment, it must be because of my twisted sense of humor.


Silver_eyes,

You have two years, summers, and winters to improve your GPA.

You show strength and motivation, most pre-meds would have dropped their aspirations to become a doctor already. You have the strength to move on, you've made it this far, sure you've stumbled along the way but who hasn't?

Think of it this way:

What is one of the hardest things to do in life? It's to learn to walk. As a baby, we fell on our arses countless numbers of time, we cried, we bruised, and we ached. But look at us now....we're walking!!

My point is, okay, so you're having a lil difficulty but if you keep VISUALIZING YOUR GOAL, you will succeed. You have time to improve, you have options in life, if you want to become a physician, you WILL become it. There is more than one way to approach your goals.

Re-evaluate your studying habits, ask your school counselor if they have programs to help you improve your studying habits, get tutors...etc. For every door that is closed, another door is opened.

Getting into medical school is all about attitude...so believe in yourself and your abilities as a person, student, and as silver_eyes.

Hmm...I have had several Indian(desi) friends who have gone to UOP. They all enjoyed their time there and felt they received a great education. A couple of them are at UCLA dental(one of them got into harvard dent but wnated to stay closer to home) and another is in pharm school at USC.

As far as getting a final moved? well...aren't you the one who plans your own schedule? Aren't the final test schedules printed so you know what they are before you enroll for a class? It isn't the school's or the prof's fault for you having whatever classes you chose to enroll in. No one said you had to take all those classes and have their finals all on the same day(or however your hectic final schedule looked like) did they?

And as far as the teacher telling you you are failing the class and to not even study....well...thats not a bad thing...perhaps s/he was informing you so you would not waste your time studying for the test and could focus your energy on preparing for other classes. How is that being "rude?"

I am not questioning your desire to enter medicine. Your post just makes it seem like all your troubles are a result of what others are doing to you. Perhaps you should take some responsibility for the problems you are facing. Blaming others will not make those things better.
 
agreed. hard to believe people are actually sympathetic for this kid. quit blaming your teachers, grow some balls, get decent grades (the rest of us busted our asses; if you wanna get into med school, you should too), and quit thinking that life is gonna be given to you on a silver platter. granted, i don't know the whole story, but the story i just read was incredibly whiny...🙄

First off- GOOD LORD your post is incoherent and highly immature.

Before you consider a career in medicine or any other profession, get ahold of yourself and snap out of this rut you are in. You are taking no responsibility for yourself and have a ridiculous excuse for everything that has happened in your short academic career.

Put medicine and other career goals on hold until you can prove to yourself that you can handle an undergraduate courseload. Transfer to another school if need be and SLOW DOWN. Take 1 class a semester if thats what it takes, but get a grip on yourself and learn how to learn- that's what college is about.

The most successful premeds I know are people who pursue their intellectual interests in college and see medicine as a possibility- not an only path in life.

If you are going to be mature enough to be a physician, you must have enough control over your emotions and personality to realize that if you don't get in, you will land somwhere else and be successful.

Forget about medicine for now, forget about letter grades. Read your post again, and think about what is wrong with the picture in the context of where YOU can improve.

Best wishes
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again - Oh cry me a river.
 
Hello everyone.

This is my first post so I apologize about not presenting my self but I had to address this.

College is supposed to prepare you for " The real world" . That means deadines, schedules, and people who could care less about other people. The cold fact is nobody can organize yourself better than you. Someone mentioned to cut back your class schedule. Wise words indeed. Now we all have felt overwhelmed at some point in our life. A positive responce may make the subject feel better but how will that solve the dilemma? I say; try to keep focused, but relax and look at you situation from the outside.

Richard Miller
 
ummm, like everyone said, look in the mirror and start taking charge of your own life instead of blaming everybody else. you've still got plenty of time to pull that gpa up. so get working on it!
 
why'd you go to uop for premed? wouldve just went to a uc or cal state school b/c uop is really good for pharmacy or dentistry

my bro did the 5 year pharm thing...its pretty good.

please don't construe this as dissin your school but just wondering why uop?
 
well this is definitely becoming a rather counterproductive thread to the OP. first richard miller welcome to the sdn family!😀
i think that everyone has made legit points and they all need to be taken to heart by the op. start taking easier loads, dont necessarily double up sciences, because right now it doesnt seem like you are handling the load that well. dont give up med school as your dream, but start realizing that medicine doesnt look for whiners, but for people that are extremely willing to adapt to situations. when you are in residency and working 36 hrs nonstop, and you have to continue, are u going to cry and whine to chief resident because you have lack of sleep, hell no. you have to work your @$$ off and take what is given to you. you have to be willing to sacrifice so much to be a doctor, all of us have to. do you think i like staying up til 3 am in the morning the night before an orgo final trying to understand freakin diels-alder reactions or homo-lumo crap. hell no, and i know everyone on this board has felt or will feel the same way.
if you want to go to med school, i would first change the attitude, and have a more positive outlook on things. you are probably a smart person and you have utter dedication to being a doctor. no i dont mean to be harsh, but you have to start growing up and taking mroe responsibility for your actions. good luck!
 
I think the other posts have offered you plenty of good advice so I won't repeat it all again. Definitely take a deep breath and do some self-assessment and figure out how to make your situation better. And one thing to keep in mind, speaking from my experience of doing pre-med stuff post-bac... A LOT can change in a few years. When I was a sophomore in college I was passionate about becoming a lawyer and could not see myself doing something else due to the tunnel vision that I think many of us pick up after hearing about career planning from age 6. Only after I got into a legal setting after graduation and realized that I was bored to death by the work and miserable did I have to take a real honest look at myself and what I wanted out of life. Maybe your difficulties at school can be something positive for you in this realm.

Definitely take some time to slow down, focus on the sciences, see if you really like them. If you find the classes impossible, frustrating, boring, etc, this may not be the career path for you. Explore medicine by volunteering, shadowing, and take time to explore other things too and see what you like. If it is medicine, great, then do what you need to do to get there. If it isn't, then that's cool too... then you'll know what you want. Take the time to explore and find your passions while you can... I can tell you that a few years down the road you'll be really happy that you did. Peace and good luck to you.
 
Silver eyes, you mentioned in your post that you think your professors are giving you poor grades because of your ethnicity. And several posters have berated you on that score, seeing it as an indication that you are not willing to take responsibility for your failures.

However, none of us are in your shoes, and you may very well be right. But right or not, it doesn't help you reach your goal to view things in this manner. The world is full of prejudiced people, and you'll have to deal with them all your life. If you want to be successful in your life, you'll have to figure out a way to deal with them in a manner that helps you achieve your goals.

So someone expects you to perform at a higher level than the other students. So what? It may be prejudice, or they may just think you're a snot-nosed little kid who needs to be taught a lesson. Whatever the reason, the bar is higher for you, and you either will have to learn to jump higher or you will fail. It's that simple. As much as we try to make it one, life is not an even playing field. So take the strengths you have, and use them to overcome the obstacles that YOU face, and quit worrying whether it was *fair* for those particular obstacles to be there at all.

Nor should you really take it personally if you perceive that your task is more difficult than others'. The more talented you are, the harder people will push you, and the more they will expect. Personally, I think that to let a talented student skate by without working hard is a disservice both to the student and to the educational process.

As for wanting to be a physician, only you can answer that question. Perhaps you could focus right now on finding a degree program that you enjoy. Forget the math and physics for now. Go volunteer, join a club--not to help your med school application, but just for you--learn a little about yourself and the world around you. If you decide that you're still motivated for medicine, you can always come back later and take the classes you need. And at that point, you'll have a GPA that can buffer a B or C, and you may also find that you've learned a few things about how to make an A even when the teacher hates you.

Anyway, just my two cents. Good luck!
 
WORK HARDER!

try studying w/ other people who actually know the material (it's hard when you're a pre-med and it's a dog eat dog world)..

it's hard to get F's in school unless you try to get them.. they just don't happen because a teacher supposedly hates you.. you have to take accountability for your scores.. if/when you interview for med school.. no one wants to hear you blame a racist prof (whether if it's true is beside the point)..

if you want to go into medicine.. you have to redidicate yourself and raise that gpa.. i'm sure you're already aware of this.. you still have ample time to raise it though by studying harder and retaking some of the courses you scored poorly in..

if a professor does not know how to teach.. go to office hours or to other professors.. get help from lab TA's.. go to your friends for help.. we all have had our share of crappy profs.. this is not an excuse.. there are many ways of learning the same material..

professors usually do not care what other classes you are taking..

do well on the MCAT..

maybe you should change majors to something you enjoy..

MDs are not the only people who practice medicine..
 
grades aren't everything. extra curricular activities will surely help your cause. also, for pitt's ethical dilemma, you can write about how you had to decide if you should report the racist guy even though it's just your imagination playing tricks on you to help you rationalize your poor grades. lots of good things going for you!

you crack me up dude :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
 
he who can't write...blames it on the pen!!!
 
I can't speak for everyone, but I know I've had to remind myself from time to time that....

1. you only have control over yourself and while you might wish to change others, you can always be the one to change in ways that will make things better.

2. Always have your very best interests at heart and don't expect that others will make your best interests their priority.

3. You must be bright and have tons of potential, so the only thing standing in the way of your success is you. (which may sound discouraging but it's a fabulous thing.. just like in 1. above, you have control over you.. you can fix this problem!)


And while some of these things might be hard to accept at first.. they actually give me peace of mind. I feel better knowing that I am in control of my success and my failures and that it is good and right for me to be "selfish" by making sure that I do what is best for me when it comes to academics and my career goals etc. You really can't do much good for others until you've done good for yourself. And I have an F in math from my first semester in college and am getting interviews to medical schools despite my bad grade. Focus on the present and know that there are opportunities to improve your grades through post-bac programs.

Smile!
 
Well, I am sorry to hear about your unfortunate situation silver_eyes. I just have a hard time believing that all of your shortcomings are due to your teacher. You failed math, got a D in physics, firstly...It seems like you may need handle your math problem first before you go into physics. Your < 2.0 gpa indicates to me that this wasn't your only semester of mishaps. I suggest that you reevaluate yourself as a person and your study habits. Find yourself a tutor, study buddy, whatever it takes. If the teachers were so bad, why are you still at this school? transfer or something...but get yourself together. Isn't less than 2.0 gpa academic probation anyway?

Cya.
 
I am a desi and yet I find your comment of the prof being racist as the lone reason for doing poorly in that class a little hard to digest. Considering it was a science class, it should and was most likely graded objectively, even if the prof had some issue with you being brown.

I did very badly too in the beginning of my college career too but I don't blame anyone but myself for it. And ultimately, I did turn that around to become a better student. I suggest that you do the same. You'll find that you'll reap greater benefit when you place more responsability on yourself.

Just to let you know, at my undergrad we never knew our final exam schedules until *after* course withdrawl deadlines (which did suck some semesters). 🙁
 
And I was all depressed about getting an F in pre-calc my first semester..............agh
I hope you are able to bounce back and do well Silver_eyes! Good luck!!😀
 
SP for SDNer of the Year!!! I love this man! --Trek
 
oh yeah and try to put it behind you and move on. And unless you are REALLY REALLY sure, dont' go around making claims of racism. They can seriously phuck up careers for no reason. --Trek
 
Well,like Samoa said,we're not in your shoes,so I'm not going to say " Your teacher's are racist,it's not your fault " or "Grow some balls and take some responsibility "

But you do need to work hard and take control of your own life.You don't need to be a physician to be involved in medicine.Do things for yourself,not what is prestigious or popular.And if this proffessor is racist,you can't use that as an excuse to every mistake,ok ?

Anyway,good luck with whatever you decide.And there are many more options that you can take if you want a career in medicine...for example:

Dentistry,Nursing,Technologist,Physical Therapist,Chiropractic,Pharmacy,Podiatrist,Aide,Adminisrative or a street surgeon who slices you open in exchange for a jar of pickled eggs.
 
I am soooo sorry for your situation. It is VERY difficult to take grades that you don't think are justified. If it is any consolation, when I did my undergrad I was forced to take the same professor SIX terms for SIX different classes (small school) as part of my pre-engr. classes. This prof. was against women going into "male" fields. The ridicule I took was incredible. In fact, when I attended my second quarter with him he said in front of the WHOLE class, "I thought I got rid of you last term...wasn't a C good enough for you?" (I was fortunate to get a C). He was relentless. As I sat down for the final during one quarter with him he said in front of everyone......"so if you fail this final and are going to fail the class would you like an incomplete." He wasn't being generous, he was ridiculing. Rather than let his attitude get to me I responded, "why YES PLEASE, that would be GREAT!" (the guys burst out laughing.....I was the only girl who stuck him out!) I was determined not to let his attitude get me....in fact I made it my goal to make him LIKE me. After my sixth term with him he invited me to dinner at his home with his family. He had indeed grown "fond" of me.

The point is this....sometimes life isn't fair. Sometimes life stinks, but it's up to us what we make of it. (In fact grad school said they accepted me because of my "maturity and perseverance") I am more concerned about your attitude than I am about your grades. Grades can be retaken, post-bacc classes can be taken, grad. school can be done, but what matters most is what kind of "stuff" you are made of. Are you going to let one professor (or two) alter your attitude? Other people don't like people who make excuses...they aren't much fun to be around. Respect is born out of perseverance and persistance. Character is built through adversity. So take heart....all is not lost....all has just begun!!
 
I concur with what CD just said. I know that sometimes everything seems to be going wrong. Just step back and look at the situation...see if there is anything you can do to put yourself back on track...to take control of your life again. It is very easy give up and call yourself a "victim" of circumstance...it takes real strength to step up to the problems and try to solve them.

You can do it!! Be bold, don't let anything get in your way.

a fellow desi.

Okay, perhaps I am the only poster who can clearly remember Silver_Eyes' history on here, going back to almost 2 years ago.

Silver, if I remember correctly, you had nearly the exact same complaints last year at this time. You were failing or doing extremely poorly in all of your classes, and it was because your professors were dumb and couldn't teach. Even if you don't have the best professors in the world, here's a newsflash -- most likely there are kids in your classes who are managing to do well, even with those "crappy, stupid, racist" professors. Somehow I seriously doubt that every student in the class is doing very poorly. So perhaps, as other posters have mentioned, the fault is not solely with your professors. Maybe there is a problem on your end as well.

Since you're already in your second year of college and you seem to be having the exact same problems, I think you need to consider some drastic changes if you hope to graduate from college, let alone pursue any kind of graduate school program. Talk to your advisors at UOP and find out what their policy is on taking a leave of absence. At this point in your academic career, and based on the fact that you've basically said the same things for a year now, I think you need to leave UOP at least for a semester if not two. Enroll at a junior college close to home and take math and chemistry classes there. Use that opportunity to really figure out what's wrong with your study skills and how to improve them. Try to meet with a private tutor, either at UOP or a junior college, just to discuss study skills, test-taking strategies, etc. I'm recommending the JC route just because I think it's a waste of your time and money to continue on at UOP at this point. Taking some time off to REALISTICALLY and HONESTLY assess your weaknesses may be your only chance to actually improve your performance at this point.

Look, I know it's hard to hear what might be seen as discouraging advice. It's much easier to tell people what they want to hear -- "Silver, it's okay, you can do it, you can turn around and get straight A's from here till graduation and get into medical school." And yes, that might happen. But not unless you make some drastic changes on your end.
 
As always, lilycat is right on the money. I do recall your posts from last year discussing the same issue. Now is the time to take control of your situation. Blaming others is not going to get you better grades.

And, taking in the tone of your post and considering this is an ongoing problem, I think a visit to the Counseling Center at UOP ((209) 946-2225) would be extremely beneficial for you.

I need some clarification on "desi" and how south asians use the word.

Desi means from the nation/homeland/indigenous/local, so do you mean you are a citizen of one of the countries or that your roots are there?

Apologies for being off topic 🙂

Take tests when they're scheduled like everyone else. Learn how to manage multiple courses at once. Figure out what it is that you can do to make a situtation better. And finally don't use the racist card as an excuse for your poor performance. Learn how to play by the rules!
 
ok, i think this is the last time i am going to post something on SDN. This site is supposed to help. Whenever i post a personal thing, i get bombarded with rude comments, and get attacked by dogs. out of the many comments, only a few are actually helpful.

And, i do take responsibility for my actions. Stop attacking me by saying , "Grow up. Dont blame ur teachers for what is actually your fault." I did tell my teacher that i some part of this mess is my fault..etc.

and to clear another thing up..this test was not a final. if it was a final i would said so. this test was just that...a test. it was the last test before the final.

It seems like you really need to focus on the constructive criticism posted here and get proactive about your situation.

Who cares if "the test" was a final or not? ...since it seems like you're nearly, if not already flunking classes. And IMHO it in fact sounds like you have some issues with being brown.

Silver eyes,
You posted about whats been happening to you, and when you post anything here, you are going to get responses: good and bad. I have been reading this thread and most of the posters have given you sound advice and yes, some have been critical, but also those were positive criticisms. You post here telling your history of bad semesters and the other problems, and then you bad-mouth the posters in hindi. This is quite immature on your part. Just take the best out of others' responses and use them and discard what you dont like, but dont resort to petty replies about how it is unfair and u will start crying soon, when in the first place, you were asking for advice.

Just becoz most ppl here dont admit that they are indian or 'Paki' doesn't mean they dont know what you are posting in Hindi or urdu.

What you need to do is sit down with a counselor and figure out what your academic future is. Seriously. The honest truth: it's not as a physician. Not at this point in your life. You really need to regroup and figure out where to go from here. Why don't you drop back to a single class next quarter, and see if you can make an 'A' in just one single class? If that works out, try two classes. But you clearly are not able to deal with the coursework of a premed curriculum at this time.

You know, one of the best motivators for doing well in school is when YOU are footing the bill for your tuition. Why don't you get a job, work on some interactive skills, mature a bit, and break back into school slowly? Or if you find something in the work world which interests you, stick with that.

Try learning to crawl before you try to run.

best of luck, silver eyes.

ok, i think this is the last time i am going to post something on SDN. This site is supposed to help. Whenever i post a personal thing, i get bombarded with rude comments, and get attacked by dogs. out of the many comments, only a few are actually helpful.

And, i do take responsibility for my actions. Stop attacking me by saying , "Grow up. Dont blame ur teachers for what is actually your fault." I did tell my teacher that i some part of this mess is my fault..etc.

and to clear another thing up..this test was not a final. if it was a final i would said so. this test was just that...a test. it was the last test before the final.

People aren't "attacking" you. They are offering you "constructive criticism." If you didn't want the criticism then perhaps you shouldn't have posted your situation. But I guess thats not your fault either. Thats our fault for posting our opinions. Test, final, pop quiz, midterm, whatever you want to call it....it makes no difference.
