Hey guys, I have not posted in ages. SInce that last time, I took the test again and did worse, and then took it again and did better but some documents got lost (some transcriptions from one of my colleges) and I was not able to apply to Medical School on 2010. Then my mom became hysteric and practically violent towards me saying that she was very sorry I made the Med School Decision too late in my life and that she could not afford to support me while I was going through the application process which is both stressful and expensive. On August 2010 I got the opportunity to get a Master's degree and a Risk Management in Healthcare Certification with and have now graduated with a 4.0 GPA. Grades have never been the problem for me, its the stupid MCAT. I did better, but not well enough to get into the state school, so I guess I will take it again sometime. After I have worked a while and I can save some money for the application process and to save a seat IF I get accepted. So in a sense it's back to square 1. On the other hand since I can now get a job my mom is happier and is taking me more seriously. I also have been going to a therapist for about a year and that has helped too. However you guys were the people I first told, strangers who in my heart became good friends. So thank you so much.!!! Hope all is well with you.
