Though I ended up getting into a fairly prestigious med school, I feel like I could have achieved the same result by not taking such a time consuming course load in high school and going to a more academically relaxed college.


I cannot believe you didn't have a more successful college admissions experience. That stinks, but amazing you persevered and became a success!

And California doesn’t have enough water for its residents. Better for everyone if it’s population continues to decline.
