I am depressed about my future. I feel like I don't have one. I feel like my dreams are falling through the cracks or shattering into a million and one pieces. I just don't know what to do anymore. The interview season is almost over (2 or 3 months depending on the school) and I have yet to hear back from one medical school. It is getting beyond frustrating. I've tried really hard not to think about it, but it's all that I can think about lately. I really want to go to medical school and I feel like it is going to be the best place for me, but I guess the schools are thinking otherwise. Sigh...
I've started looking into taking the GRE and applying to graduate schools in biochemistry because I don't think I'm going to get into medical school. This is something that I don't want to do because I don't want to be in a lab my whole life. I want to be interacting with people and healing them. It looks like this isn't going to happen though. Sigh... Life is so depressing right now.
What did I do wrong? What should I have done differently? Should I call or email the medical schools to see about my application status?
I feel like a failure and failure is my biggest fear.

SEAN!!! Don't give up now. I know you can't see the light, but it is there. Send out positive affermations to those medical schools. Keep telling yourself that you are going to go to medical school no matter WHAT! You seriously belong in medical school. If Tanner can do it...you can to! I'll start praying for you! :)
I know how you feel. I didn't apply to med school, but being married to someone that did, I can honestly say that I've been in your shoes, and it really stinks! I don't know if you knew, but Scott didn't get accepted his first time around in applying and we felt like the world had ended, but it ended up being a huge blessing to us! He reapplied and got into a school that we hadn't even considered the year before. You can't give up on it. Our number one bit of advice is to get your primary application in on June 1 and have your secondaries done at the beginning of July. After the fact, we realized that Scott had just finished his applications too slowly, because his scores were all were they needed to be. If you need advice on applications, seriously, let me know and I'll have you talk to Scott. We didn't have anyone to ask for help and it was really frustrating. I feel like I'm rambling on now, but it's because I really know how you feel... just don't give up!
