assuming it's a real apology, apology accepted (i can speak only for myself of course). now you have to work on turning your life around. perhaps lay low for a bit around here and read how reapplicants have done it. try not to ruffle so many feathers when you come back (since others say you have a history of doing this kind of thing). seek professional help if necessary, to deal with feelings of worthlessness. you could have done better. but you didn't. so no point in beating yourself up over it. good luck.
ps if not a geniune apology, go away and never come back. 🙂

It is, and once again im sorry. To be honest im probably going to end up applying to DO schools (NYCOM looks like my top choice). I don't know if any Indians are DO's since most of my friends and family are either PhD or MD (once again I could be, and knowing me, probably am, wrong lol). Thats where the pressure came from to be an MD (of course I always wanted to be a doctor despite that because i like medicine). Now that Ive had time to absorb the fact that ive been rejected, and will be rejected my dream MD schools, and am just plain stupid. I can be sane again for now lol. And im not saying that since im stupid, ill try for DO, therefore DO's are stupid. No. Im saying since im ******ed failure, ill try my best for DO (with some luck ill get in) since thats my only real option, not saying that for DO's in general lol just me.

Call me a troll, whiner, loser, or just pathetic. I don't care. Ive hit rock bottom and Im certain that no one can sink lower than where I am now in terms of self esteem and confidence. I have no way to go now but up. Counseling would be an option but its not feasable for me right now since Im working at a hospital in India.

Ill take the advice some of you said. Ill go back to school, pretend like I got a 4.0 the past two years and continue to do my best. Ill get some good ec's, more research, maybe do an EMT-B (since that looks pretty cool), continue shadowing, try to get straight A's and pull my gpa up to a 3.3 - 3.4 (3.5 would be a dream but that would require an extra semester and tons of luck), rock my MCATs, do an SMP or a post bac, and ill end up where I end up. My friends, parents, family, and my society in general, will probably look down on me for not getting into a top MD school, but honestly f*ck them. I just want to be happy and practice medicine.

Though the thought of getting rejected by my top choice med schools, and the fact that I could have done so much more to avoid that really hurts me, ill learn to live with it. As you guys said so colorfully, people deal with worse. I saw a cancer patient try to kill himself a few days ago, so you guys are correct. Again sorry for bringing myself over here, since most of you here are smart and had to deal with my idiocracy lol.

Anyways ill go be stupid somewhere else for a while.

Well I guess that answers that question lol. Guess you learn something new everyday. Im still gonna shoot for MD admissions but yea, will def apply DO as well.

Btw, they have a typo under languages other than english. Its Hindi, not Hindu. I know no one cares, but just to let y'all aware, its a common mistake most ppl make lol. Just in case anyone wants to let Penn medicine know loll.

Yeah, I noticed that. I was searching for doctors that might speak a language from that part of the world, and all the rest were listed as Hindi, but hers said Hindu. Some clerical error, probably.
