Started reading SDN a couple years ago. Finally made it into med school on my second attempt. Keep at it, non-trads. Don't let ANYONE tell you that you can't make it in. There are some vitally important things that make all the difference and don't really get mentioned here on SDN. Figure that out and you'll be successful in med school and everything else.
Requesting my account be closed tonight. I'm going to spend more time with family and friends and less time online. Best of luck in all your endeavors.
