Just sent a email to Iowa medical school admission office.

This is the original email I sent:  "Hello, my name is Max Wei. Right now I'm a first year student at wartburg college. I got accptance of iowa last year but I still decided to go to Wartburg college, because they are smaller and offers very good pre-med program. I have been working really hard of all my courses, I spent triple times longer than normal pre-med students here on study. I came to United States about 2 years ago, I dont have a green card. My dream of my life is to be a dortor in this country, this dream has been staying with me for over 5 years and I'm not going to change it. I know UI have a very good medical school and my goal is to get in it. My dad has enough bank saving to offer me 4 years medical school tution and he can move those money out anytime. I know the truth is might be cruel but I still want to know, is there any chance to get in your medical school? any special cases? Even I have 3.7+ gpa and decent MCAT score?  I just want to know how realistic my dream is, even it is very cruel. Thanks. "

And this is the reply I received: "
Dear Max,
I am sorry to tell you that Carver does not accept international students.  A green card or asylum status are required.  There are medical schools in the US that accept international students or students in the process of getting permanent residency.  Best wishes in your search for a match.
Judi"

 So, my Iowa dream is over, this was quick. I even don't have any chance to struggle. Just one single email smashed my dream. Well, except Iowa, there are still so many medical school left in the US.

Right now, every day every moment I'm worrying about my grade, I even had a dream about I got a 70% on exam couple days ago. I feel like the whole word is against me, people say, the harder you work, the better result you would get. But now, I work triple harder than my friends, but my grade is still bad. Sorry about I put so much grumble on this blog.
