Just wandering if there's anyone who can relate to me? So I am a junior now and am planning on applying to medical school next year and take a gap year. Right now I am taking 16 credit hours of classes (Orgo 2, Physics, Physics Lab, Spanish 2, and an online class). I am in a sorority, which requires a decent amount of my time a week, and also participate in other volunteer and service activities. I am worried about my success in medical school because everyone is telling me that if I am stressed right now I am never going to make it. I currently feel like all of my time is devoted to studying and I never get to do much else. People are telling me that spending about 6 hours a day is way too much studying and that I'm crazy, or not going to be smart enough for med school. In my defense, Physics and Orgo together are not the easiest, however I know med school will be way harder. Physics at my school is known for being pretty hard. The organic professor I got stuck with is notoriously one of the hardest professors at my University and requires a ton of work compared to the other professors. Could it be that I am just in a few difficult, "weedout type", classes right now that I am spending so much time studying? I still have classes like physiology, microbio, genetics, etc. which my advisor says will get better and help me pull my GPA up. I'm just starting to freak out a little because my science GPA is only a 3.6 and people are telling me that I won't be good enough for med school if I already spend around 6 hours a day of studying.
