So I've pretty much messed up my freshman year. I am extremely upset about it because so many things happened to me that have just screwed me up. For this reason my grades are most likely going to suffer badly my first semester I managed to pull off a 2.5. Which is horrible I was an A/B student in high school. I'm so worried about my chances of getting into medical school after this year, I can barely sleep or anything and it doesn't help that this year has caused me to relapse in my depression and self-harming phase.
This semester is no better actually and I'm afraid I'll most likely fall below a 2.0 as I currently have all Fs in my classes. I was an idiot and tried to redeem myself from the semester before by taking on 20 credit hours of coursework.I also attempted to take two Anatomy courses with labs and work full-time.
I was wondering though, do medical schools look down upon those who graduate from college say at age 25 instead of 21? I think I should take a break and more than likely my plan was either to join the peace corps for two years or enlist in the army (which I'm currently in the process of doing) as a medic. I don't know if this would be enough? Or should I just continue to go through college and re-take the classes I've done terribly in? I need some advice. I've gotten so discouraged that my dreams have been completely crushed to become a physician. Do I still have a chance at all? Even if I've messed up this year!
