It sounds like you really need to give yourself a break. Take some time to relax about this big decision because in reality you do have plenty of time. It is important to remember that just because you spend time worrying over something it doesn’t mean that you are actually doing anything about it. Give yourself a moratorium on thinking about it and you will probably feel better.

If you know that some classes will be really hard for you, but, you will be able to get through them, then you are already ahead of the game. If you can get through the required classes then you are smart enough to get the degree. It is going to take more actual work and commitment than just relying on your smarts. Even the smartest people will flunk out if they don’t care enough to study and work as much as they should.

There is definitely no reason to worry over not getting into med school now. You have to take a whole lot of classes before that is even close to a choice and by the time it is something that you need to think about, you could have even changed your mind. Take a break from all the worry and have some high school fun.
