    I remember being in college but the line for office hours for Chemistry was so long it would end before I could even get in. The professor was sarcastic and would say “did you read the book” if we said yes he’d say “read it AGAIN”. The class was also CURVED DOWN. They did not curve up.

    You're spot on. I'm 50 and at a point I needed to change my career so I went back to school. Time management was/is a huge factor. My wife and I have 5 children (one will be graduating college when I do :) But, I will be taking 18 credits this next semester just for the simple fact, my wife landed a job that financially can support the entire family and I will be able to quit my current job and focus on nothing but school. No hanging with friends or going to bars. Any free time will be spent taking my littlest to the park. :) Thank you. Inspirational.

My grades are all A's until now but I don't know I have this feeling like lack of guidance and especially since everything is online. And because I had a high grades in EMSAT (it's a national system of standardized computer-based tests here in my country you take it after high school, they immediately transferred me to major courses. Again thank you so much you're the best. I'm not a med student though haha I'm study cyber security.

      For sure! Research was not a focus for me, and I think that demonstrating passion for medicine in other ways is entirely possible. Mine came through scribing and volunteering, others may do more shadowing. It's all up to you and what sort of experiences YOU want to achieve that will help you learn and show medical schools that you know what you're getting into.
