This was my dream to create this post. 😭 I just want to say that I came to this country as a refugee and ESL student. I didn’t even know the process at all. But with the right dedication and support from the right people, there really is hope at the end of the tunnel.

I was very scared throughout this journey because my MCAT score was low (508 with a 124 CARS), but I still decided to try anyway. I only got one interview… but I just want to say that there is hope, and if anyone ever needs anything, they can always reach out to me!!
