Medicine-Please doctors help me.? What can I more do? How can I change their mind?

I have dedicated my life to medicine. Since i was 4 yrs old till now 21. This is my third time, that i have applied for medicine , and i have already been rejected by 2 universities. I have an interview coming up at Hull york med school , and i still haven't heard from dundee med. school,in which i am sure i have no chance since it is very competitive. I feel useless, i feel empty, and without an aim.. I am lost, i have no feelings left. I have always done everything i could for medicine, in terms of achieving high grades and have had a lot of work experiences, have organised a lot of work experiences with doctors but none wants to see it. No doctors seem to want to give me an offer. And patients love me. Still I don't deserve anything. I am useless, i feel empty and considering how hard i have worked, missing a first in my molecular medicine degree for 1%.Speaking 4 different languages,I still don't deserve anything-here i am crying in my lonely solitude which nobody wants 2 hear

1. Try Ireland. But medicine is a very difficult field to get into. Be strong and don't give up your dreams.
2. Forget England, go and work somewhere where you will be appreciated, like Germany.
3. You poor thing. I am so sorry this is happening to you. I can see your dedication and commitment from here. It is true that getting into medical school is competitive and a lot of people miss out, usually ones like you who can connect well with patients and really do care. It seems that the pressure of all this rejection is taking it's toll on your self esteem and confidence in your abilities. And thats not a bad thing because it shows how much you really care about other people and are desperate to show it to people and help them. I really admire you for sticking with this, you have got strength of character and so many good things. I cannot say why this is happening but believe me just from what you have written here I can already see what a fantastic doctor you WILL be. All you can do is keep on trying and one day you will succeed. I am 36 now and it took me till age early 30's to find a good doctor. Thankfully I have now. I also wanted to be a doctor (GP) as a youngster but I ended taking the kids route. I am now doing an access course at college to become a nurse but am having problems getting my college to provide a reference. I have been to my nearest uni for interviews and have been unsuccessful, I am totally gutted too so I do feel your pain. I have worked hard academically and science is my best subject but still they didn't want to offer me a place. I now have to wait and apply again for 2009 or try another uni, very difficult since I have children and don't drive. Don't feel lonely and that no-one wants to hear you. I want to hear you so if you need someone to hear you send me an email www.shelliescott@blueyonder.co.uk. Good luck and take care of yourself, you will get there eventually x
