This is a question I asked myself a lot when in college and when applying to med school. It is one of the scariest things to think about and try to find an answer to. But ultimately, I could always tell myself that at the end of the day I am still me and still have a lifetime of success behind me, and none of that was determined by a medical school liking my application or not. It is difficult to plan a back-up, but there are a million things you can pursue instead of medical school that could potentially be more fun or enjoyable. Whether you are still dedicated to the healthcare field or if you want to find something else, there are always options (that will actually pay your bills) and you are probably already qualified for. But the most important factor is you are still an extremely successful individual and don't ever forget that.

Preparing for medical school should start as early as high school! Studying Latin already in high school means significantly reducing the workload when studying at the institute. Choosing a specialized course in medical Latin is better - knowledge of the terms and knowledge of the basic grammar rules will help save a lot of time in college. You can also read about the work of medical auditors and broaden your horizons. In-depth knowledge of the major subjects will ensure that you study in a biology and chemistry class. If the school is regular, it is worth turning to a tutor! There's a lot you can do!

Firstly don't think of the results... Think whether u want to get it, live it if u are really passionate about ur goals then nothing can stop u.. Please don't just give up on ur dreams... Have faith ,atleast start doing it with a full potential without thinking what will be outcome... Just believe in yourself and u will definitely achieve it if u stay consistent. Do hardwork for what u r aiming. If u keep thinking then what will happen if u don't get it,u actually r stopping yourself what u can do... Just give ur best and stay positive
