Hey SDN, first time poster...
Well I am in my second year at my university in Canada. I do not plan on applying for med schools until my degree completion.
Now I just received three out of five of my first semester marks back - and I am depressed as hell. Orgo chem got me at a B+, I swear I studied a lot for that exam (then again it did raise my pre final mark, but I digress). Biostats at a C, and honestly that was the toughest course for me as I am not amazing at stats, but much better at calculus... Then again maybe I am an idiot and I am just trying to excuse my own incompetence. Evolution at a B.... I am awaiting BioChem and my elective (music theory).
I know what I did wrong... I did not give myself enough time to study for these exams... I had a pretty bad semester emotionally. TL;DR my friends that I was supposed to live with got rid of me all the while leading me on to think I was living with them. Then again I am probably complaining....
My first year GPA was pretty bad.. 3.15, but everyone says the first year is the learning year of getting adjusted..
I don't know. I feel like an idiot - I mean so many other students have probably gotten 80+ (equaling As) - so if I can't do it I must be an idiot - or maybe I am taking this to hard.
Beginning from first year I had pretty depressing thoughts - those thoughts even reaching suicidal levels if I didn't do well enough to get into my dream profession. I want this, my parents want this - I do not want to let them down (especially considering they are funding my education in hopes that I become a physician). And now those thoughts that I believed I was able to put aside are now creeping back into my mind.
At the end of the day this comes down to me and me alone. If others can do it, surely I can? I don't know - maybe just looking at these marks during the holiday season has ruined my mood. I am an idiot.
