i didn't do so well at high school but i really blossomed at college (especially with respect to my grades). i just... clicked into it somehow. found a good group of friends doing the same classes (psychology) and we would hang out and devise the nastiest multi-guess questions we could for one another and really crammed that material down and had a little fun at the same time.

i wouldn't rule anything out of your future just yet ;-)

lots of people fall apart a little when they get to college. discover the joys of a social life and don't work very hard in their subjects. if you are serious about trying to get into med school or getting into a competitive graduate school program then you will need to work hard and do well. but it surely is possible :-) just see how you find it. sure it will work out.

i went to my local university (which is reasonably good but definitely not amazing). from there... my grades got me entry to a world-class PhD program (that ranks favorably with some of the best in the USA). so... tis possible. otherwise... there is always canada ;-)
Thanks for this!
