I remember it was just before thanksgiving and I was doing just fine, As in all my classes and perhaps a B- in orgo. Yea I thought anything less than an A was just horrible but I resigned myself to settle for a B in orgo; an A just was not going to happen. i studied more than i ever studied before and just before going home before Thanksgiving break I failed the first exam I ever failed in my life. Yeah, an F, an F, how could I have gotten an F on my orgo exam???? I never ever failed anything in my life. It's not that i'm infalliable, of course I am, but I worked so hard, I had a B, barely a B, but how could I get an F??????😱 I thought I understoood it. I went into a huge depression, lower than I ever reached before. But I somehow managed to pull myself together and I went to an open house at NYCOM and it excited me and I knew despite my failure, this is what I wanted to do. So I worked even harder....but....despite all my efforts I ended up with a D+ in the course.😱 Major depression set in and I realized I went from a decent passable candidate to one who is struggling. What am I ever going to do?? How can I redeem myself??? Otherwise I feel I'm just an average run off the mill candidate. I have a lot of plans but I'm running out of time. I maybe only have a 3.6 at this point., no MCAT grade yet, and nothing outstanding.eek: What am I to do???😕

do you really think you'd be the first person ever to bomb orgo the first time through and still make it to med school? ...relax...take it over when you're ready and pay for a tutor if you have to

dr josh, i hate to be a downer, but we've all heard your sad story before (as you've posted in many many threads)!!

you are NOT a failure because you did bad in orgo. retake it, and you'll be fine. you need to stop dwelling on the negative, and get your thoughts back on your sciences and MCAT prep.

if you want it bad enough, you'll do whatever you have to, to get in.

good luck

sorry to sound like such a downer, but i can't seem to get past it and no matter what I do, it doesn't seem like I'm anything above an average (or less) applicant. If I was an adcom I wouldn't accept me with a D+. 🙁 As I've probably also posted in many many threads I do have a plan, but I'm afraid my plan will fall apart just as it did before when i bombed orgo. 🙁
