<p>Hi guys,
I’m aware that this is slightly long, but please read through, since I really need help!
So I’m an eight grader currently. My sister was a senior last year, and she was going through a lot of issues. She kept on insisting she was fat, and needed to lose weight. She kept crying about how she would never get into any college, blamed my parents for everything, began to go outside with some of her more questionable friends a lot more, and creating a load of stress for my folks.
Long story short, she got into Berkeley. This year, this has kind of stopped a little but now things are starting again. YOu see, last year she had no idea what she wanted to do. She went through a small phase where she wanted to go into a bunch of weird fields “artist, poet, writer.” I don’t mean anything badly with regard to those careers, but she wanted my parents to pay her way through years of those subjects. She didn’t apply to any scholarships, and the end result was that she eventually went undecided to Berkeley.
Now, she’s decided that she wants to do medicine. This has led to both happiness and consternation on behalf of my parents. THey’re happy that she’s finally decided on a solid career with a significant career field, but frustrated, since if she had chosen this last year, she could have been accepted to several medical 5 year or 7 year programs (some of her much less qualified friends got in).
Now, however, she hates Berkeley. She’s once again started blaming my parents, saying that now, THEY were the ones that stopped her from going into medicine. She’s really started yelling at my mom (who has Alzheimers), insulting her and it’s driving me insane. I’m sick and tired of her negatively affecting my family for the past 3 years due to her own selfishness. Our family has financial problems and the fact that she’s been buying 200 dollars worth of clothes, going out with friends to football games (and not even trying to save money by buying a season pass) is really getting unbearable.
So my final question is, how can she transfer to a 5 year program from a UC? I would rather that this gets over with now, and she just transfers out. I understand that it’s going to be difficult, but as a junior high student, I don’t know anything abou this subject. How could she transfer to a medical program from Berkeley? What’s the process like?
Thanks for any help</p>
<p>She would have to meet up with a counselor at Berkeley or the admissions office/counselor at the medical school she wants to go to.</p>
<p>Basically she has to complete the prerequisites for med school and apply. Do you know what her GPA is? Med school admission is incredibly competitive with admission rates of less than 5 percent at most schools.</p>
<p>She cannot. She will have to finish the pre-med requirements and apply to medical school. Also, it seems your sisters already has more serious issues at hand. Without a doubt, the pre-med path will intensify these issues. If your parents and her are at odds now, imagine what it’ll be like when she’s actually in medical school.</p>
