I want to be a doctor!! It's really the only thing I have ever wanted to be. EVER. Here's the situation: I went to pharmacy school for my BS due mostly out of practicality (I am a practical girl!) I wanted a degree in something that I could get a JOB with if I didn't get into med school right away. While in pharm school, I experienced some rather mind-numbing family issues that assisted in bringing down my overall gpa from a 3.6 (pre-pharm) to just barely a 3.0. You can actually tell just by looking at my transcript when my Dad was living through a battle with colon cancer (he past his 5-year mark 2 years ago, though! Go Dad!). I have always been an "A" student (or "B" if I slacked off!) so, having 4 (yes! 4!!!) "D"s on my transcript has kept me from applying to med school for the past 8 years since I got my BS. I don't know that I can get in with 4 "D"s!!! :banghead:

I have tried to convince myself that being a pharmacist was enough, and while I do enjoy my job, I feel so empty about it. I have no passion for it. I want to be more involved in patient care. I want a bigger role. BUT! I am so afraid that my grades will keep me out... Does anyone have any hope or inspiration to offer me???

Thanks!
