So it seems one must be superhuman or rich or something

[Guest regularjoe]

Hi,

I'm a little disheartened. I have applied to Dalhousie medicine, and now that I see what I'm up against, and what kind of people have gotten in in the past, I'm starting to think that I don't stand a snowballs chance in Hell of getting in. It's not my marks or anything - they're good. It's just my life "accomplishments" in general. I have volunteered at a hospital, same one for the last 3 years, and have a great multitude of interests and talents outside of school. The thing is, everyone I hear getting in has won a gazillion medals for sports, or have some sort of prestigeous research award that I know I could've gotten if I had known about it during application time, or have been around the world a few times, or have rich parents. I play sports as well as a rock floats, I haven't won too many things, the furthest I've ever been in my life was Disneyland, and I barely have enough money to afford to pay for internet to post this. I'm just a regular joe with a good resume, but with nothing superhuman. Have you ever heard of any people like myself getting in: Just regular people with a strong sense of dedication?
