My suggestion , look into another career, if you can go pass the first step, what kind of doctor are you going to be?? Not everyone can be an MD. You have to be intelligent and have vocation to care for patients, if you are for the money, i feel sorry for you.

If you really want to play the game - here's how - this is not the solution to your short comings and each progressive semester does gets harder - but.... go to see one of the behavioral sciences counselors - make sessions once a weeks until the end - build a relationship - get medication if ncessary - Remember, the behavioral sciences guys sit on the appeals committees - so if your one of "their" patients so to speak - theres your answer - However, if your not really into this school thing and are not willing to fight to stay, then i would agree with prior post and just leave.

What kind of "medication?" Methylphenidate?

Benzos, Barbs, whatever you want. Hmm... is this in any way related to stories of past students attempting to OD??

youd be surprised how effective the whole "anxiety" angle tends to be

5. PASS ALL COURSES INCLUDING REPEAT COURSE/S Promote to next Semester




The 1st semester was by far the easiest semester. The semesters only get harder! Sorry to sound like doom and gloom but if you failed 1st semester it might be time for a gut check! Best of luck!

DO NOT LOOK INTO ANOTHER PROFF, I had a friend who failed out when I started in Jan 05, he went to Guagilara, mexico and had some trouble but overall he passed all his classes, the teaching is ok their, but the policies are HUMAN

If you could not pass Ross first semester, I doubt you will be able to pass first year at SGU.

well there is that...
So many people think that switching schools somehow will make it better and that they will succed there when they didn't at the 1st place.
think about what you really are capable of and then decide- but you should try to stick it out at one school if you can fix your mistakes- a good step I score and good clinical grades can help explain alot away...basic sciences are not the end all and be all...you tripped up- figure out why and then go from there.

I too have once been to "Guagilara" but I thought it was located on Bandalera Island, 100km east of central Africa, not Mexico. Unless you were speaking of Guadalajara? There is a difference between there, their and they're.
