Pre-Med

So being pre-med means you want to go to med school, right? Yeah
But the path to get there is hard as hell. You have to go to the best college, get the best grades (3.7 science 3.8 overall), you have to do scientific research, complete hundreds of hours of community service, and be involved in every extra curricular activity on the planet. However, if you are not able to achieve this, you spend four years in college extremely stressed, doubting yourself, and wanting to give up. So AMA, you have created a generation of quasi-suicidal over achieving ready to throw a friend under the bus generation of young people. They want to give up on their dreams because they can't get an A in that science class or might possibly get a B- (oh god) in calculus. How can you go to sleep at night. I am curious the number of college aged students who have committed suicide over something like grades or not being able to achieve these high standards that are set.

So the reason I am on this rant has to do with some of my friends. One of my friends is an engineer (who prob when he sees this will be like omg...you wrote about me lmao), another is a bio major, and final one is a former pre-med now econ major with dashed hopes and dreams because of the shitty advisors at this school. For starters, we are all in a similar boat and according to AMA there is no way in hell that our asses will get into a credible medical school in the United States. Regardless, we all have this passion and drive to be docotors. Maybe I couldn't memorize the fucking layers of a tree (I still don't know how this is relevant to being a doctor), or my friends wasn't the best at friction forces and trajectories, and my other friend just could never get blackbody radiation down, but at the end of the day we never gave up. So shouldn't that show something, Mr. AMA, we never fucking gave up. I feel like the determination and persevernce we put up, says alot. Hopefully in two years, we all will be heading off to medical school, because our respective med schools will see that over four years we never gave up, improved, and ultimaelty have the drive to be doctors.
