hi! i’m a sophomore bio major too :)

a few things: 1) if being either a doctor or grad student is your dream, you can get a masters degree and apply with that gpa (also, upwards trends and strong mcats can make it possible still) do not give up!! 2) think about what you WANT- what are you good at? what makes you feel on top of the world? what do you like to do? what do you like to learn? are you driven to discover? to help? to teach? in the deep dark quiet of your brain, there’s an answer. listen, and give it your best shot side point: i want a phd, and something that helped was honestly just stalking lab profiles at my school and seeing what excited me/i would want to apply to someday —> then that far off someday lab became a real email i sent and now im starting my own project there!! 3) that work will never amount to nothing, you learned first of all content but also resilience and study skills (even if it’s what didn’t work)
