<p>Thanks for the responses. I keep learning new things. </p>
<p>I am of middle eastern decent, and the reason I am interested in becoming a doctor is because I was inspired to help people when my uncle went overseas and helped poor and underprivileged families have their babies safely delivered on his own time (hes an obstetrician). </p>
<p>I know a professor at UCB very very well, does that help at all? My understanding is that they dont take letters of recommendations. </p>
<p>Thanks for the all the help, I really really appreciate it.</p>
<p>Oh and uh, do suspensions hurt you? Just curious…</p>
