I didn’t mean that EVERYone had personal problems freshman year. It just seems like there’s an overwhelming number of threads that repeat the same things: “My pet died and my grandma became sick so I had a super low gpa. I know I can do better but do you think I can still go to med school?”
I am absolutely positive no one had the “perfect” freshman year. What I guess I’m trying to say is that people should take responsibility for their own position and not try to attribute poor academic performance on “personal problems.”
