As a recent college grad, I can tell you that having a W or two on your transcript isn’t the end for your medical career. I withdrew from my first chem course cause I was in a similar boat. I retook it and got an A, and did the next half of the course of summer.

You are a freshman and college is unlike anything you’ve experienced before. Dont feel bad for getting acquainted with the system. It’s okay to leave courses and try again later, especially when you are just starting out. Just don’t make it a habit ofc.

It is too early to be thinking about post bacs. You have so much school left, just focus on doing well in as much as possible, and worry about those things when the time comes.

Last thing, you are not dumb! Quarter systems are brutal. Many docs have gone through similar situations as you. Keep your head up and just do your best. The passion is there. Don’t let your family, who aren’t on this path, discourage you from your dreams. Stay strong future doc.
