I quit premed because of a few B’s I earned in college and because of scarcity minded parents encouraging government jobs and accounting (and/or PA). My parents would often comment on the stress doctors face and the massive amount of loans physicians take out to finance their schooling. I, at first, listened to them and went into various corporate roles.
However, over time, my frustration grew as I saw people with SIX C’s get into medical school (a relative earned a C in organic chemistry and was admitted) and/or far worse academic blemishes. I feel that I made the wrong career choice, and I know that I’d work my butt off to be the best doctor and never take it for granted if given the chance.
I don’t want to do any other career and I’m done listening to BS about Plan B’s. If people with WORSE grades than me can get in, why not? I literally had a therapist tell me that science was not natural for me and that I should do PA. I said something about “oh, perhaps I should be more humble and consider PA” and they agreed.
The more people steer me in other directions, the harder I clamp down 
OK - you know what you want.
Develop a plan and see if you can get there. If you can’t, there are other options. What others have done is irrelevant.
Worry about you.
Good luck.
Indeed, as my science GPA for MD is 3.67 and my science GPA for DO is 3.81. I’ve never gotten a C in any class in my life, and 3/4 B’s I earned were B+ grades. I’m also naturally good at CARS.

Thanks to all users to flagged this thread before I awoke at 6 a.m. The OP started another account this evening, @SunglassesPerson, where he pretended to be his mother. That one was caught quickly since it was during the day, but he has been known, as he did yesterday, to create his account during the overnight hours. The threads are all along the same lines as what he posted above - pushy parents (unless he’s pretending to be the parent, and then the complaint is lazy child) with med school aspirations but a series of bad grades. If you see a new account with such a similar questionable story, please flag rather than engage.
