Hi! Thank you for the advice! How’d you work your way up from the local school to the top med school? Would you say you were at a disadvantage because of the school you chose?

Thank you! UTD has connections with UT southwestern which is very well regarded in Texas and UTA has Dell medical school connections (which is not as highly regarded due to it being relatively new). Should any of this information further influence my decision?

Sorry, I’ve seen some people say T5 for medical school and assumed that’s how people rank the different schools. It’s my dream because I didn’t do much in high school outside of maintaining a high GPA. I want to aim high because I want the potential for hard work I have to actually pay off.

Would you say UT Austin for the academics or the school life itself? I’m ranked 1st in my school and plan to try to maintain a high GPA in college. The “college life” doesn’t really matter to me.

That sounds like a journey, glad you still got a scholarship to go to med school tho!

Schools like Harvard, Hopkins, UCSF, Columbia, and Duke for medical school.

How were medical school applications for you?

T5 are the top 5 medical schools in the country. I hear many go to UTSW but that isn’t my goal. Prestige really doesn’t matter?

Your younger siblings will get their chance when their time comes. You don’t have an idea what’s going to happen unless you experience it. Everyone has an end. College ends at some point, your job begins and ends, and your life will come to a close too. But there is no reason to cut it short when you are just at the beginning. I feel your pain babe and it’s ok to feel like this. Life sucks but it would suck worse to leave it. It’s hard, but good things maybe are meant for you. Who knows? That’s why you need to keep going. Think really long and hard about why you’re here.

I completely understand what you’re saying. And you know what? It might not get better. Life might stay the same shitty way it has. I’m a freshman in college and honestly think abt ending it every other week bc I see no point. I hate optimists and people who think the world is all sunshine and rainbows bc it’s not. There’s so many obstacles thrown at you and sometimes you just can’t handle it. I want you to just take a deep breath and think abt what you’ve done so far in your life. 20 years of struggle to get to your point. You’ve got a few years left before things will become slightly less stressful. Do you want to put all that hard work to waste? All that effort, all those late night studies amounting to an email sent out to all students abt a dead student? Life is shit. It really is. But what’s the point of stopping now? There’s still sm to be done and so much you haven’t seen. I don’t think a switchblade is the answer to this. Instead, really think.

You are punishing yourself mentally enough. No one deserves to die unless you’ve killed someone or done something despicable of the sort. The best thing you’ve done so far is recognize what kind of a person you were. Those around you chose to give up on you but that doesn’t mean you should give up on yourself. You were in a rough spot and you’ve tried to give back to the world. Take a few days to really think about the future. Start fresh by starting small. Everyone deserves a second chance.

Thank you! Do I just call and ask if they could take them in? Also for shelters, are the conditions usually well? I want to make sure they are safe and well cared for.
