dude... when you submit to God, amazing things happen. I won't go as far as to say you are set on medical school but hey, He has given you the opportunity to enter med school right? So obviously, he DOES want you to enter.

By doing well, you will also honour God. I admit its probably going to be very tough, but after what you have gone through already (3 years of biomed shit), this one ought to be nothing ya? :) Take encouragement in the fact that it's always been your dream to be a doctor. Or think of the day you get your MBBS degree. I think the heavens will rejoice with you.

It's one thing to follow the heart and another to follow the mind. Concentrate on the mind first before the heart. Try your best for med school before any other alternative, because if you have and truly did try your best, our God will surely not deny you anything that is good. Like your dad, you can always go into the ministry later. :)

Anyway, whichever the case, you will always have my support and prayers.

God Bless...
