Anyone want some help??

You actually seem to be some kind of Guardian Angel, as I have just come on here searching for a post exactly like this one, after just having another row with my parents about the following.

Okay here goes. I am 18 years old, just, and I have got B's in the A Levels I have taken, english lit, history, geography, classics, and for the past couple of years, since before I started these A Levels, I have wanted ultimately to go to Medical School and hopefully become a Surgeon.

But, after being bullied into other subjects by my parents and teachers who didn't think that it would be right for me because of the long hours, the length of time required to train, and the lack of experience volunteering in the field, etc. And I have now come to the point, some may argue, too late, where I have realised that this is what I want to do. This is truly what I have to, want to, and need to do, so what I am asking is, do you think it is too late?

Once I have taken Biology and Chemistry (do you also think physics is required?) at A Level, I would have just turned 20 by the time I started, and given the number of years training needed, is it just too late? This has been really depressing me for the past, well, ages, but I feel it is too late, with everyone I have heard of entering Medical School at 18.

Thanks a heap for any advice :]]

P.S. Before anyone is degrading enough to ask, I am not one of the wannabe TV surgeons who has "seen and loved Grey's Anatomy, like, so much and sooo wants to be a surgeon now," please don't ask lol.

Seeing as you had an offer from Southampton, you would indeed be a lifesaver if you could tell me when (roundabouts) they give out offers...I'm only waiting on them now and would quite like to know soonish. Also, do they have a post-offer open day? I looked around so long ago that I think I need to refresh my memory before making any decisions!

You're really rather lovely for starting this thread, so thank you! xxx

Why does the strangling ****** want to strangle me?

I've got to admire the enthusiasm of Fresher Vs The Sum Misery of Applicants. Its touching. Weird, slightly arrogant and idiotic, but touching.

May be, like me, he finds your posts really irritating....
