Taking it easy for a semester

I'm seriously considering it. 12 straight months of hardcore studying have left me not giving a damn about whether I get into med school or not.

I'm still waiting on my MCAT scores and I want to finish my great american novel (or study for the MCAT if I bombed the test).

Make me feel better. Tell me I deserve to relax. Tell me now.

Not acceptable.


No really, it shouldn't be a problem as long as you're sitting good right now.

It's okay to take a lighter semester if your schedule will allow it. In fact, if you come out having to schedule interviews, you may be glad you did.

I think I'm going to take it easy then. Spanish 101, here I come!

It's fine to take easy courses...but make sure you get good grades in those easy courses.

You can post a thread asking for advice, it's not hopeless. MD is a long shot now but DO schools do grade replacement, so a year of retaking low science grades can give you a chance. But like I said make a thread for your particular situation rather than bumping threads that died 7 years ago on unrelated topics!
