Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of becoming a doctor. I know that kids often change their minds, but my mind was always set on being a doctor. I got decent grades throughout my undergraduate degree (a mix of A’s and B’s). I was really stoked to apply to medical school… but I haven’t gotten in.

I was heartbroken when I didn’t get into a medical school right after earning my undergraduate degree. I applied to about eight schools. I realized maybe I didn’t apply to enough schools, so I applied to twenty schools this time around. I didn’t get into any… again. I have the drive, passion, and thought I (mostly) had the grades. Should I give up my dream of becoming a doctor or keep trying to apply? I feel stuck and don’t know what to do.
