Way too early to give up. Go visit your school's learning or education center and get help with time mgt skills.Hi, all. I've been reading the forums on here for a while, but I joined today because I would love some advice. Real advice, not a sugarcoated lie.
I am about to finish my first semester of sophomore year. I took 18 hours this semester (big mistake) with all of my core biologies, Organic I, Stats, and an Honors Research class. It was a hard semester for me. There were a lot of things that happened in my personal life which took my time, but I know that is definitely not an excuse. Worst case scenario, I will end this semester with a 3.0 overall GPA. Should I give up on medical school? Is there any hope for me? Please don't go easy on me -- I would rather have constructive criticism.
U-shaped GPA trends are very common, thanks to Orgo.
