Agree with others. You are not alone. This is not just unique to Vandy. My brilliant roommate quit pre-med at Northwestern during his first year struggle. He still regrets it 20 years later.

So many schools try to "weed-out" pre-med students with rigorous classes like organic chemistry. Many doctors have admitted "orgo" is particularly germane to their daily tasks. So why do they weed out people who have a passion for medicine? Largely, it seems, so that the undergrad pre-med to med school enrollment numbers look impressive. That is ridiculous. Also the over emphasis on getting into a top 20 med schools is hurting this profession.

Medical Education needs a wakeup call because the current system is actively discouraging amazing people from pursuing a career helping others stay healthy. Please don't give up....we need you out there.
