Hello,

Although I have looked over this site for a number of years and offered sporadic comments and somewhat useless conjecture, at times, I am now ready to formally announce who I am and what I am trying to accomplish.

I'm 27, I grew up in a very rural part of VA and now live in the northeast. I've spent the latter part of my teenage years and all of my twenties working as a paramedic and although I love this job I've always wanted to do and learn more.

I transferred into a reputable university in the northeast beginning my undergraduate journey this fall semester. I'm a bit overwhelmed juggling work and courses but I find that I do much better in ever faucet of my life when I'm just a little too busy..

So here I am, announcing to the part of the world within STDN that I am going to become a physician come hell or high water.

Welcome to the jungle.😀
 
Welcome. I'm only 24, but I started my first college this semester, and I know balance work and schools is tough. I'm definitely 10x better now than I was in August, but it takes some adjusting. Best of luck.

Drop back on the coursework if you are not getting high grades. You can easily dig yourself into a low undergraduate GPA "hole" that you can't get out of. You need to make sure that your uGPA is staying above 3.65 and that you are getting a solid knowledge base for scoring well on the MCAT. You won't get any "brownie points" for trying to balance work and school that in the end leaves you with a less than competitive undergraduate GPA.

It's unfortunate that a sincere post could cause such a negative reaction. Would you like me to apologize? Obviously, you have been offended. I am deeply, regretfully sorry. I wish there was a way to make it up to you. If only I had a dictionary or even a picture from which I could pull something great to express just how much I care.

Regrets,
RB

It's just a hazing. They give it to everybody. They actually had to end up locking my first posting thread.
