Recently accepted to Caribbean school but after some soul-searching and hearing some negative things about the school and Caribbean in general, I KNOW I should not go and will not be going. At this point, I don't know what I'm doing: my undergrad GPA was just north of 3.0 and my science GPA was just south of 3.0 (due to a lot of external factors); MCAT 500. I still want to go to medical school but there seems to be so MUCH bull**** in my path: I have no money, no job, no life to speak of but I have remained strong (although my motivation waxes and wanes). I took alot of science in undergrad so I cannot really do a post-bacc. Should I just study for the MCAT, aim for a high score and reapply? I really don't know what I'm doing and it makes me very sad. I applied to LCME schools in the past and did not get one single interview. The more I think about my situation, the more I become depressed. I'm in my mid twenties and have very little to show for it. Please, someone give me an idea of what I can do to possibly get into medical school in the next few years.
I feel like this board is sometimes harsh but gives you the real deal but I'm just so distraught with my life. I did not realize the Caribbean was so terrible despite the evidence on this board. I thought I could just "make the best out of a bad situation" and move on.
@Goro @gonnif @gyngyn What do you recommend I do to try to make myself for attractive for medical schools? I know you've mentioned things before but I'm not sure how to look them up.
