Hey guys,
I currently am a freshman in undergrad and I am really intimidated by the thought of applying to medical schools in the future. The reason is that I see all these posts here about people with 3.9 or 4.0 GPAs and high MCATs getting scared about getting into any medical school, and that is my biggest fear. I want to be a doctor so bad!
The problem is that I go to a university known for grade deflation, and am also in a very challenging engineering major there. I love my major and don't want to switch it, but I am terrified about getting a lower GPA than I would with a major where I could take fewer credits per semester and really focus on them, especially since my school is known for grade deflation.
What advice can you guys offer me? I'm scared
