I’m a Biochemistry major with a 3.6 GPA, and can’t even get an internship.

An undergraduate degree is no longer a status symbol, it’s a prerequisite. And 3.6 is not impressive. It is 73rd percentile nationally. You are an average American college student. Yes it is sad that the average student is struggling, but you are not a case of struggling exceptionalism

I never said I was exceptional. I’m just pointing out my major and GPA. What’s with the rude tone?

Also, the average GPA is like a 3.15. 50th percentile is the average.

I wouldn’t necessarily say pretty bad, a solid interview and resume can make up for it during applications. Now an actual average, 50th percentile MCAT score really is bad

Well, yeah, but I’m not going to med school. My parents just wanted me to be a doctor.
