Ok, so I'm waiting for my grade to post, and there is no way I passed that final. If I get below a C in this class - I will lose my acceptance to medical school.
So, other things I could do with my life is two years of hard work and a career change don't work out.
- Grad school in women's studies?
- Grad school in anthropology?
I don't think I could go to grad school in public health, because it would be too painful to be that near the health field without being a doctor.
- Have a baby? I definitely want a baby, and this would give me a chance to do that?
- Write a nove? I have lots of great ideas, but I've never had the time.
Hmmm...we'll see. I'm trying really hard to trust God, but knowing that my fate is going to be decided by Friday is a lot of pressure. I still have one very difficult final to go, so I'm trying not to think about it, but it is a lot to handle right now. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to trust God with. It's literally the rest of my life, because I can't imagine I would ever get into medical school again after having an acceptance revoked.

Sorry to hear about calculus. I kind of stumbled upon your blog and after reading your last entry i kind of felt the need to share my story. I have three C's and one D in my transcript. All of them were acquired in science courses that are rather relevant to medicine. Furthermore, i took the MCAT four times. Yeah, four freaking times. Yet, i will be joining you next year.
Now, what is calculus? it's nothing but numbers and laws that you cannot bend. There's very little critical thinking involved. Hell, there's not even facts or data that you could draw some sort of conclusion from. In other words, i don't think that your calculus grade could possibly reflect your abilities as a future physician. I honestly believe that the committee would probably see it the same way.
Lastly, i hear your pain. Sometimes it seems like life does nothing but frantically take shots at your knees with the only intention of bringing you down. However, when it comes to people like us, that never works. Our resilience always pushes us to find a way to make things work. That is why no matter what happens in the future...... everything will be ok.
Don't give up.
Att: Future classmate :)
Gosh Allison, I know you have to be just sick of the waiting game. I really hope that you get the grade you need to maintain you acceptance. I'm praying for you. Keep me posted!!
Thank you both for the support!
Andres - and this is why I am so excited about Mercer. Down-to-earth classmates who are REAL people (not gunner robot students). I'm really praying for the C I need here. I'm also applying for the Air Force scholarship, so I'm pretty sure I need a C for that also. This is the most stress I've ever been under - including the MCAT. Andres - I can't believe you had to suck it up and go thru the MCAT nonsense four times. That was a truly horrific experience. I do look forward to getting to know you next year, and I'm just trying to hold on til I have some peace here.
My next semester is three science classes and a grad public health ethics course. I know they will be all A's and B's. I'm really great at science actually, but never in my life have I been able to do math - Calc is just a major requirement.
