Entry into clinicals
Hi guys, I’m really stressed and honestly need some realistic advice.
I’m in first-year biomed and my midterm grades have been pretty bad:
- BIOSCI: 25/70
- CHEM: 37/70
- POPHLTH: 13/40
I know these aren’t good, and I’m panicking because I feel like I’ve already ruined my chances of getting into any clinical programme.
The thing is, I don’t even want to do med specifically, but I was hoping for another clinical pathway and now I’m scared those are out of reach too.
I genuinely don’t know if it’s still mathematically possible to recover from this if I completely lock in for the rest of the year, or if I’m being delusional and should start thinking about other options instead of wasting the year chasing something unrealistic.
Has anyone been in a similar position or knows how much recovery is actually possible from grades like this? Please be honest.
