Due to circumstances beyond my control (burnout, depression) I had to withdraw from my calculus course. This brings my grand total of withdrawals up to 7. Does this situation completely cut off medical school for me in the future? My reasoning is that it shouldn't because 6/7 of these withdrawals are due to medical/behavioral health issues (i.e. depression) which are beyond my control. Even if I kept up a 3.8 GPA from this point, is it futile (right now I have about a 3.5-3.6 GPA but this should rise because I'm still taking Chemistry and Biology and I'm sitting on "A's" right now)?
I planned on taking chemistry 2 and calculus over the summer. If I excel in calculus over the summer would this, in effect, negate my withdrawal this semester?
I'm just so depressed. All I've ever wanted to do with my life is get a good education and become a doctor.If I cannot accomplish this I feel that I couldn't go on anymore. Every time I try to excel there is some roadblock which seems insurmountable and causes me to back track. I know medical school will be more difficult than undergrad so if I cannot overcome these hurdles know, how will I survive?
