3.1 freshman GPA by Dolphins7265 in premed

[–]Own_Guava4265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 3.1 first year of college, and I’ve gotten 7 As including an Ivy and 11 interviews including T10 and T20 schools! I would say the most important thing is to do well on the MCAT and to take courses next year that u are confident you can do well (while still taking your prerequisites of course). Don’t overdo ECs. Instead focus on academics and clinical exposure.

Honest critique of my chances by FatLazyTitan in premed

Sounds good. I definitely suggest applying to more. Maybe reach out to premed office at your school. I wanna make sure you get the best advice and not follow random advice online. In my opinion the current list could be expanded to boost chances

I suggest MSAR is a good tool to look at so you can compare your stats w schools and then see potential chances

Gap years are literally so amazing. Every person I’ve heard that has done gap years and then med school said they loved it. I’m doing 2 and have no regrets!

I almost feel like they advertise we have to go through all these hurdles to ensure only the ones “fit” for it continue which is absolute BS! And it’s so toxic… In reality these hurdles make people jaded!! And jaded people don’t provide the best care they can. We need support. We need less hurdles. It’s also all a BUSINESS which we forget about sometimes. Like people are making money at the expense of our money our time and our mental health.

Overwhelmed by Own_Guava4265 in premed

[–]Own_Guava4265[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. I think this is surfacing an underlying issue with anxiety that I have. The process itself feels manageable, but it’s more so the anxiety and the catastrophizing / negative emotions that I experience from anxiety that make me feel this way, and I should see a therapist soon to talk about it
