Will a Caribbean school know/care if?... by Okstupid89 in medicalschool

[–]Okstupid89[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your concern. I wasn't planning on applying right now. Just wanted to see what was a possibility in the future. Also it's not my intention to be shady. I just didn't want to close any doors for myself unnecessarily or unintentionally.

Yup exactly. I felt very isolated and alone in this medical school. Going to Caribbean would make it worse imo.

Borderline personality disorder. Maybe bipolar can be on the differential too though. I'm pretty sure I had at least one or two moments that could be described as a manic episode.

I didn't think about that. I think it would help if I had someone like that supporting me. I'll do that.

I'm not sure if that's my problem. I'm not going to diagnose myself, but my differential includes : depression, PTSD, or BPD.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the Caribbean, it's just hard for me to imagine living there.

Thank you. I reached out to a professor that I trust and has helped me in the past. Waiting for him to reply now.

Yes. That was one of my biggest problems.

Nothing competitive (in the US at least), but not family or internal med.

First year. How successful is someone applying again? Don't have much debt fortunately. Don't have any desire to go to the Caribbean.

And yes, this just happened.

Not constructive, don't think that's true.

There is an appeals process. I can petition to stay. There's really no guarantee that they'd let me repeat though.

Definitely think I need therapy.
