Perhaps I have some degree of bipolarity. No, no I don't. It's just that this mental roller coaster ride that is going to do me in. My mixed feelings about my capabilities in pursuing this. There is no doubt that I WANT to do this more than anything on this planet that makes sense at all, but I'm somewhat doubtful that I will succeed. Truly, I feel defeated and I'm only just beginning. I have to get my esteem together.
I went to the Dean today to ask her what the story was with my GPA when I start up in the fall. It turns out that yes, my GPA will pick up from where I left off. (I'm still not ready to disclose what my GPA is...seeing them typed out on this screen will strike a nerve)... Anyway, I was also told that the more credits I take, the lesser of a margin my GPA will increase. For example, it will be an easier jump from say a 2.5, to a 3.5 if i've only taken up to 120 credits or so... once I get higher than that, the jump is harder. So from a 2.5 to a 2.7 might be all I could do with straight A's. (And no, i dont have a 2.5)
So essentially, 2 semesters of straight A's (in a perfect world) might not be enough to get my GPA where I NEED it to be.
On the upside, I have a great resume, I can get great letters of recommendation, I have my volunteer, I have my shadowing. Ugh, the MCATS.... I still have to bust my ass for that one. Hopefully if I can swing a 31+ it will help out my grades.
*I made an appointment to shadow Dr. "Bascom Palmer" - I came up with a Tues/ Thurs schedule. 9am-11am. I"m going to start next week! EXCITEDDDDD!!!!!!! If I can hopefully get a letter of recommendation from him, then life is golden. GOLDEN. Bascom Palmer is only THEE most renowned eye institute in the world...
P.S. Still on the job hunt.
That is all.
