There is no point to this post other than I'm feeling down. While everyday I am positive I will be a great doctor, some days I feel like a failure...between taking B's in classes I could have had A's in and procrastinating like crazy while I should be studying for the MCAT👎 I just feel like crap about myself as an applicant sometimes🙁

Coming to this forum makes me feel better because I feel like people in here appreciate the person more than the numbers and I'm much more proud of what I've experienced than my numbers.

So basically...thanks to those of you who are so encouraging and see the best in everyone, we really need more of that.👍

Well, come here as often as you need for support. 😉 I'm sure you'll kill the MCAT and you'll be applying super early, so you're doing everything right.

Hey, remember last year when we were fighting over JPH? Ah, fond memories on SDN.

Good Luck hun

Oooohhh its almost MCAT time. Have you been taking timed practice tests?

The fact that you're only 23 yet have a 9 year old step-son is amazing. I think it's pretty understandable that you procrastinate or make the occasional B, that makes you human. Much better than some applicants who are just drones that are playing the numbers game. You've got a real life to deal with and I'm sure the adcoms will know that.

Just had my last KAPLAN content lesson tonight and unfortunately I have finals next week so probably will start taking time tests right after my last final (thursday of next week). I realize my situation isn't ideal, and that I could really use more time, but I've put it off for like a year and I just can't handle delay it one more time...I'm going to just buckle down with taking tests and content review these next 4 weeks and hope for the best.

Take as many as you can. See where you stand. If you don't feel ready, you can always postpone until july or something.

Doc Henry, I'm sending you a big hug, only because my brain can't currently form any other coherent thoughts after an 18 hour work day and another looming tomorrow. So here's your encouraging hug

Chin up my friend! I just checked out your MDapps and as far as GPA is concerned, I really don't think you have anything to worry about. In fact, you should be proud of those numbers! It sounds like you're on the right track and everything with studying for the MCAT, the Kaplan course, so just go in there confident and try to relax.

Not that you should aim for a 25 MCAT or anything, but I have a similar gpa and a 25 and did fine with interviews and acceptances.

We were all in your shoes and I doubted myself constantly throughout undergrad, but you just have to keep your eye on the prize! 👍👍
