Im in the same situation, in fact I would have started a post except you beat me to it. I too got a place at a med school recently, but looking back Im not sure it was worth it. I sacrificed so much to get to where I am - during my GCSEs for example - did I go and watch that new movie that had come out? no, I was too busy studying to get the grades. Did I want to celebrate my 18th birthday with my best friends? No, I was too busy worryig about my AS results. Did I want to spend some time with my family? No, I was studying for the UKCAT. I let everything go because I thought there was light at the end of the tunnel, but now, all that I've got to show for it is a piece of paper saying I got a place at some univeristy. I dont feel sad, I dont think I have any right to feel sad either, but I feel...nothing. Im waiting for a feeling of happiness that will never come.
