Hi,
Have you ever felt proud because you thought you were very good at something (school in my case) only to meet people who are 10x better than you at that something and then become discouraged? Because I have and believe me, it sucks. I'm very competitive, especially when it comes to school and academics, and so when I meet other pre-meds who have perfect 4.00s and who claim that they barely study, it hits home because I really do work my butt off for good grades. At this point, I start to wonder whether I'm even good enough to be a doctor. I question my competency, and my overall self-esteem plummets. I think about my imperfect GPA (not that it's a bad GPA) and about all the perfect 4.00s that will be applying and I just feel like I have no chance. Can anyone else relate? Any tips on getting over this? Please advise.
Thanks
