Feeling hopeless
Hi everyone I need some guidance. I just finished my first year with horrible marks in the 60s range. I also found out yesterday I failed chem which I’m going to take over the summer. I understand my marks are very bad and it’s my own fault. I should’ve been more locked in and taken things seriously. In high school I never had to study to get good marks, so first year uni was a huge shock to me. I also feel like I have adhd which I’m going to try to get diagnosed for. I know I have a lot of potential to do great, and failing chem was a HUGEEEE wakeup call for me. For the next 3 years I know for sure I can get a 3.9-4.0 gpa by developing good study habits and getting my adhd diagnosis. I’m also confident I can do really well on the mcat. I just feel really hopeless and lost because I know how much gpa matters for Canadian med schools. Overall I think I have decent extracurriculars. I’ve been working since I was in grade 6, I have my own business, I’m starting a new club at my uni, and I’m going to try to get more volunteer hours as well as exec positions. I honestly just need some advice and some hope that I can still get into a Canadian med school.🙏
