<p>Should i just give up being a Pre-Medicine major and the science path?
I am currently a Sophomore and becoming a Junior this coming fall.
I have a terrible GPA as of now with around 1.4 GPA with F's in essay classes ,a F in a chemistry 2 credit class
a D in Organic Chemistry and I am not even sure what I am getting for Organic Chemistry 2 but I'm sure it is not good.</p>

<p>I really just did really bad from freshman year to sophomore year with C's B's and only A's on easy courses that are less than 3 credits.</p>

<p>I really don't know what to do anymore. I messed up really bad by not feeling hopeful and being depressed from being so useless and a failure.
Now I am more depressed and feeling even more hopeless. </p>

<p>I've heard of stories where people with bad grades that wanted to pursue medicine ended up taking post bac classes to make up and show they can do well in the classes they did bad in .</p>

<p>However I am not sure if any ever did as bad as I am doing. And if I were to do post bac classes to prove med schools that I can do well I would think I would have to retake a lot of classes (all the ones that I did terrible in such as C's B-'s, D).
How long would that take? Is it worth it?
I was thinking I would like to really want to work harder than ever but will it be fruitless?? T_T</p>

<p>Should I just give up pursuing the medical field? And if I were to give up will I have to give up going through the science path? will it not be possible to even try the engineering path?</p>

<p>Have I messed up everything ?? Because that is what I am feeling. I feel like there is no way for me </p>

<p>First thing you should do is stop pouting on the internet and study harder or read your old textbooks</p>

<p>you can still pursue medicine. you are probably a party monster though (excuse me if im wrong) and do not devote enough time to your studies. my advice is drop out and work for a year or 2 and maybe take 1 or 2 classes a semester until you can grow up and bunker down. you can still do medicine but may be better served going to business school or a humanity. not everyone can handle the sciences, hard or soft.</p>

<p>good luck too you though :)</p>

<p>Also, consider related fields like Nursing. The requirements are not the same as for pre-med, so you’d be able to avoid harsh courses like Orgo and Physics. Moreover, if you learn better by getting hands-on, working with patients might be where you can shine! And it’s a lot quicker than the route to becoming a doctor. </p>

<p>Until you’ve figured out why you received the grades you did and fix the root cause, a plan of action won’t matter. You mentioned feeling depressed. Has this been plaguing you throughout college? Have you considered seeing a therapist or getting counseling?</p>

<p>It would be a difficult road, but if you are able to turn your grades around, medical school could still be a possibility, particularly DO schools–but that is well in the future. First take care of yourself. A person can’t take care of their grades/work if they don’t take care of themself first.</p>
