<p>I'm stressing as much as one could about my stats, let me know what you think, please</p>

MCAT: 42 (first attempt)

<p>Extras:

Student Body President for one year</p>
<p>My first two years of college were spent as a humanities major. I have a lot of W's, one D and one F for those two semesters. I was dealing with Cancer at the time and am going to do my best to reflect those struggles in my essays. I transferred universities after I pulled out of it, and received straight A's, including straight A's in all of my science and pre-req courses.</p>
<p>I believe I have a good shot... but I'm worried about those W's and two black eyes :(</p>
<p>I don't want to assume that you're being a troll since these were your first two posts, but it sounds really hard to believe someone with those stats would be worried about getting into A med school, let alone a competitive one.</p>
<p>I don't know what a troll is..... but I've been reading these boards for a while and wanted to ask a question so I signed up and posted it. </p>
<p>And there really IS a kid out there with cancer who teaches dance to a bunch of blind and deaf kids. I've been cancer free for two years, in which I could perform again and start a program at my deaf sisters school because she and her friends, who happen to be deaf, wanted to learn. I hope the admissions committee doesn't find it funny</p>
<p>I'm worried because of the ton W's and two bad grades. I know I could get into a reach school, but I AM worried about somewhere competitive....</p>
<p>most medical schools actually want you to be fluent in 6 languages, not 5. I suggest you pick up another language and then apply.</p>
<p>Also, it's helpful to work in small villages in various third world countries, healing small children who have lyme disease and no fingers or toes.</p>
<p>Your GPA is decent, and an alright MCAT. So just work on the 2 above aspects of your app, and you'll probably be ok.</p>
