Worst case scenario is a med school in Barbados.

Once you go through 4 years of crappy med school you get to work 80-90 hours a week for less than minimum wage for another 3-6 years while accumulating hundreds of thousands of dollars in student debt!
I guess the exclamation point won't help make my statement any more motivational or uplifting. Sorry I'm currently jaded.

If you don't get in you can have a normal life, instead of being 25 with seven years of 80 hr work weeks and little pay increases to look forward to (Oh and $220,000 in loans).
Think really hard about medical school, I'm serious. Think where you want to be at 28 or 29. Think about if you want to work 80 hrs a week in your late 20s and 70 hrs a week in your 30s. Also expect salaries you see now to be about 10% less (in real terms) when you are an attending.

Even though you're a fucking moron, even shit schools like Central and Western have med schools now. It's certainly not going to be the privileged or lucrative profession it was in the past.
Good luck you poor sap.

Ouch...

RaptorCaptor and I weren't joking.
I would tell you to just take the practice tests over and over again but someone else might have a better suggestion.

After many years of total b.s., the wifey has been an attending for a few years. Study hard and hold your nose. It will be worth it as long as you pick a good specialty.

On the bright side, it doesn't really matter where you went to school. It matters how you do on your boards and where you can get a residency.
Although you are an idiot, a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally. Don't fuck up.

This is a perfect example of why you don't want to go to medical school. You deal with dicks like this every day.

Yawn. All of this is greatly exaggerated and basically the worst-case scenario.
The physicians you mention, that work 70 hours a week, are the ones who chose that lifestyle. They are the ones who chose to do something ridiculously competitive/niche (like cardiothoracic surgery or something) and the payoff for them is worth it (probably 400 to 500K).
Others don't care for a hectic lifestyle and work 8 to 5 as a family physician or an internist. Some open their own clinics and enjoy whatever hours they wish if things go well. Others go into ophtho, radiology, anesthesiology - collect a cool 200+ a year - and live very good lifestyles.

Also, a 26 won't get you into any MD school unless you luck out (or unless you're a minority). You'd apply DO with that score, or have to retake. And the chances of you going up 5 points in 2 weeks is slim.

Wrong. MCAT is only one part of a large application. GPA matters, volunteering matters, research matters, leadership matters, essays matter, interview matters.
The 26 might be "low" enough to screen you out of some true top tier schools, but if the rest of your application is strong you still have a decent chance.
