Hello everyone,
I have thoroughly screened and read most of the forums here pertinent to my question, but I have been unable to get a definitive answer for my question, so here I am seeking your advice. Please do help.
I am applying to MD/DO schools this summer 2012.
I have a cGPA of 3.35. (Mostly As and Bs, with only 3 Cs)
I volunteer at a Hospital and have bagged 160 hours.
Volunteered at Center for Dialysis Care and organized games for the patients receiving treatment.
Volunteered and tutored 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade students and helped boost their morale and grades.
Currently work as an ER Scribe - skilled in patient physician interaction and hands on experience of medicine, as opposed to shadowing a physician.
Summer research with an oncologist.
Currently doing research with a professor.
My issue here, is that I am doing terrible this semester, to the extent that I'm almost failing. This was supposed to be the most crucial semester by far, but despite putting all my heart and mind into it, I am not pleased with my results. I attempted the MCAT for the first time this semester and received the score yesterday which no one wants to know I bet. I'm retaking it in July.
I am scared to death if I'll ever make it to med school. I love medicine. I love my job as an ER Scribe, but I fear that my grades will prevent me from getting into MD/DO school. I have pressurized myself so much and am still not pleased with my results, I am disappointed in myself and I feel like a failure. I'm almost on the verge of dying if I fail to get into med school. I have never failed a class, never failed in life so far, so I agree this is a different experience for my, but I have to get into MD/DO school, or else I have absolutely no idea where I'll end up. I'm perplexed, anxious and worried.
I lost my mom couple years ago and she was the only constant in my life, then I moved to a new country and all the transition has been painful. Anyways, coming back to the topic, I need some ray of hope, some direction, indicating how I can achieve my dream of being a physician, because it is my dream.
What can I do to improve my chances of getting into MD/DO school?
I'm terrified, stressed, nervous and petrified. Please help someone. PLEASE!!! PLEASEEE!!!
