<p>Medical or Med. school related students,
here is my short story:
I am about to finish my first spring Sem. and i already have 5 w’s.
Lots of things happened and in fall i had to drop virtually all my classes due to overworking myself/ commuting between 3 colleges. 3 of them were towards my major. Chem, Bio, and Physics. I retook physics this sem and got an A. I average a 4.0 as of right now (29 units)
The reason why I’m posting was that today, i had an appointment with a counselor for the first time. He told me what i already knew, and he said there is no way to dismiss my W’s.
The reason why im worrying so much is because i have high ambitions and i feel things are starting to fall apart because of some choices i made.
After high school i chose not to attend UC Riverside because of temporary financial issues, so i went to a cc. I want to go to UC davis, berkley, irvine, or sand diego for my premed (chem).
Then hopefully try for an ivy league or UC la or sf.
I am told stories from my brother’s friends that people that attend those school normally average 0-3max “withdrawals”
In high school i had a solid 3.5 and i ditched a lot of school. i was ignorant and didn’t pay much attention in class. Now that I am pushing myself i feel i can average a 4.0 maybe 3.8 at the lowest(in a cc at least because there is no +/- system).
so what I’m saying is:
If i get accepted through a TAG program and average a (lets just say worst case scenario) 3.6+ and a 30~32 after premed with 8 W’s (you never know what will happen so i added 3 W’s just in case). Will i still have chances of attending UCLA, SF or any ivy league?
personally i doubt it, but i like to measure myself to worst case scenarios to relief anxiety and help me concentrate more. Since this is anonymous please be truthful and as detailed to your knowing extent.Thank you for reading and replying</p>
