I am in my first year at a mid tier US MD school.
Our preclinical grades are pass/fail, however we do get a percentage on each exam. The class average tends to be around 87% and I consistently get about 83% on all the exams, with the exception of a couple classes that I really liked and did above average on. I would attribute my low scores to only studying about 3-5 hours per day, as I just found myself getting very distracted.
The problem I have is that I really wish to go into ENT. I realize that I need to fix my habits and put in more hours, however I now feel anxious over the thought of having ruined my chances as I cannot fathom catching up on all the studying I have missed out on in my 6 months of medical school.
Is it too late for me to turn it all around and excel at clerkships and step 2 enough to match ENT?
