Your record is your record.

It doesn’t matter if it hurts you or not.

It matters that you have a balanced list of schools, with at least two assured that are affordable and assured admission.

You can study pre med and math anywhere.

You’ll apply to schools that interest you - and if you get in, great - and if not, guess what you’ll go somewhere else.

I was just at Vanderbilt the other day for a Dr. Appt - and they had a resident in the room (and graduating med student) - and I got to wonder, where did he (the resident) go undergrad.

I think the pre-med I have to go to a top school thing is overrated.

They have:

Arizona
Colorado
Kansas State
Kenyon
Pitt
UF
U of St. Thomas

Yes, they have top shelf names too. And for med school - the K State went to Kansas and yet got a residency at Vandy - and there’s other similar.

Control what you can - but no need to panic.

No matter where you go - you’ll have every chance to be a Dr., same as what you deem a top 30.

But panicking will do you nothing - your GPA is a part of your record, a main part - but there’s other parts.

You realize you bit off more than you can chew, you’ll adapt, and frankly, it might make a great essay…I was overwhelmed and here’s how I learned from it so I can do better in the future.

Good luck.
