maybe it's because this quarter is my last quarter in Davis before I move home...I originally was planning on staying in SF to do research for a year on Alzheimer's. However, with the sudden death of my grandma, I really just want to go home as soon as possible to keep my mom and brother company. I know that research at UCSF would be such a great resume booster. I know going home would be such a waste of a great opportunity, but at this moment, my desire to be with my family trumps all.
I'm currently in the process of gathering my letter of recs before I leave. Taiwan in December and crack down studying for MCATs in January to take the test in March. Depending on how I do, applications in June. Scary to think about, yet exciting at the same time. I'm excited to go to medical school, but worried that I won't even make it in. I have the grades, but I don't know about my experiences. I know I went to Oaxaca...I know I did research and handled my own project....I have clinical experience...but how much is enough? How much is enough for me to stand out? Hearing stories of much more qualified individuals being rejected from ALL the med schools they applied to freaks the bejeezus out of me.
My hope is knowing that if this is what God wants me to do, then He will be responsible for getting me in.
Hebrews 11:1--Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
