Pray for my organic chemistry midterm tomorrow. I did not have a lot of time to study and I’m scared that my work so far this quarter will go down the toilet. I am trying to become a doctor, but I am a low-income pre-med student that goes to one of the most selective universities in the country where everyone has either been tiger-parented and/or come from a country were sending your kids to school 12 hours a day is the norm. Honestly, I never thought about my social-economic standing at all until I came here and I am reminded everyday that I am behind my peers and that I was probably only selected to fulfill the first generation child of immigrants, low-income, and female diversity quota. They take in students from disadvantaged backgrounds, but are not prepared to help them keep up with their peers. It’s great that they are giving me a shot, but, admitting people and not being prepared to meet them where they are at is pretty irresponsible. Thank you in advance.
