long story short, combination of multiple problems, mainly emotional, caused me to fail and fail and fail. I had great scores throughout middle and HS. Battled bad depression and anxiety through the last 3+ years. Im 22 years old now in my fourth year of college. Ive failed bio 2 and chem 1 three times each, not because of difficulty, but failure to do the work. (Ive literally aced exams in them and had almost an A exam average in biology one semester but still continue to fail because I procrastinate with homework or missed the final.)
I've been analyzing my study habits and learning difficulties now that my symptoms are somewhat under control and I continually am learning from my past mistakes. I failed some of the easiest basic courses(even some online humanities courses where there is literally like 10 minutes of coursework a week).
If I make a turnaround, with around 15+ Fs in my courses(I basically did nothing, and didn't realize how much of my parents money and my education I was wasting basically. I still did well on the exams in classes, which proves I still have the potential and with two siblings who are med students who received nothing but As throughout their lives) would a postbacc program help me? I have interest in becoming a doctor and no passion about anything else really.
I pretty much understand what I did wrong and have come up with a strategy to change my study habits, lifestyle, and mindset and have been doing so for at least the past year and half. Now it is time to fully implement/execute my plan and apply myself with no excuses. Now when I begin taking action and make a drastic turnaround and ace my courses from now on and replace all the Fs, would any type of postbacc program after graduation(2 years from now) help me? What options are there for undergrads that failed miserably and overcame the obstacle that was causing them to fail?
