My parents know i'm too stupid/lazy to be a doctor. They pretty much forced it on me, and being asian I have little choice. I would've gone Poly Sci into law or something. This will most probably be one of the many things I'll regret for the rest of my life.

That's terrible man. Have you thought of any possible alternatives? Finding out what you want to be and possibly earning scholarships or being able to save up for other education? I can't say anything since I'm not in a heavy asian family but I'm sure there has to be a limit of begging they can take from you to get into something else.

I would have applied and would probably go to a different university, but its a lot more expensive, and regardless my parents are going to want to pay for it, and I can't bring myself to putting greater financial strain on my parents.
