I just need to vent...
My father was "very supportive" he told me that because I am in the USA
less than 5 years I will never pass MCAT and I will never get accepted to
the USA medical school. Well, I have a green card, I came to the USA
4.5 years ago. I also have 2 degrees from US University,I have 3.64 Undegrad and 3.78 Grad GPA,I was working 2 jobs while studying, making my way through the college, I do research and blah,
blah,blah My Kraplan tests were good but I psyched out in August and got 24P
So,I retook it in April...
Now, he keeps telling me that I will not make it,that I am in a big disadvantage,plus I am a woman and nobody takes women to surgery (he thinks so)
It's all getting on my nerves...
Sometimes I feel that he is right and I have to just give up everything...
People...does anybody know someone who was in the US less than 5 years passed MCAT and got to med school?
Any comments please...
I am sorry my dad gets on my nerves ...I just need to vent...I cannot just hold it anymore and play happy and self-confident....
