Gina:
Alex, God gave you a good set of brains and a strong personality. I guess after all I've read of you here, I can't imagine you being anything other than a doctor.
God Bless. Let us know.
Gina :)

Thank you all again for the support and prayers. As promised an update;
--- Quote ---Dear Alex,
Thank you for your interest and application to the Western University-CSUF Linkage program. Although the committee felt that you will ultimately be a good candidate for a DO school, they had concerns as to your suitability at this time for a linkage place and ultimately did not recommend you. Please feel free to schedule an appointment with me when we can discuss this at greater length.
I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
Yours,
Christina Goode

So what am I doing now? Well continuing my education obviously. I still have this semester and the fall semester before I am able to acquire my Bachelors of Biological Sciences.
This hasn't deterred me to continue my struggle for admission into medical school.
I suspect my adviser will probably tell me to re-apply for the school's program next semester or apply to the school itself next semester or even at the end of this semester.
Regardless of what she advises though, I'm not giving up. The only way to go is forward and that's about the only thing I know how to do anyway. If Western University Medical school decides not to accept me then I will probably end up re-take my MCAT for a stronger score and apply for a masters program to continue my education and make me more competitive for medical schools all around.
I have no clue where God is taking this but I do know that we, as God's called, who have been blessed with His wisdom know that it is "through much tribulation we enter the kingdom of heaven" so I didn't think this would be easy and I don't think God plan's on making this easy. It's why I didn't get my hopes up too high! Besides, it's experiences like these, failures and rejection, which aid in building my and all our character as people so I say bring on the fire so long as it's serving a good purpose which we know with God, always does.
But make no mistakes.. there is always doubts and fears of what if I don't make it? I'm human after all too.. i'm just trying to do what I think is best in light of the wisdom God has shared with me. I can't say I wasn't a little bummed upon receiving this email.. it would have made things so much easier and nicer if I had gotten accepted into the linkage program.
I'm a little embarrassed, I've done nothing but share my rejection and failures with you all time after time. Maybe one day, I'll be able to share some truly joyous news with everyone here.
Blessings to all.
In Christ,
Alex

Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.
(This saying is true -- If we want to make God laugh, we tell Him our plans. Rather we should say, If it is the Lord's will, on the morrow, we shall do this or that...)
God Bless, Alex. :)
Rhys 🕊:
Sorry to hear that Alex. Know that the Lord is with you and will do a great work in your life.
Psa 34:17 When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.
Psa 34:18 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Psa 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
1Co 2:14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
Alex speaking for myself I see no problem whatsoever you sharing rejection and failures time after time with people here. The folks here care for you and I know I do. Constant rejection and failures is all part of this life and we all continue to go through it. I got rejected in so many jobs I started my own business. Ha ha I can't fire myself. Keep your head up and keep marching on, God isn't finished with you yet.
God bless
Rhys
