wanting to get into research

hi ladies! im going into my 4th year of health sciences. i feel a bit... ashamed asking this question cuz im starting so late. i havent had the best grasp of uni.

long story short: undiagnosed adhd and ocd = bad grades for me which means i gotta do second degree if i wanna get into med school unless theres a god given miracle (i finished this year with a 3.3 gpa which is.. my highest one). and with this poor grasp of uni, i havent gotten to ask any of my profs to do research along side them.

i am a very anxious person and i dont have a close relationship with any profs so i feel weird asking them if i could do research with them, especially cuz i dont have th best grades.

how would i even go about getting into it at this late stage? can i do any sort of project alone? we have summer research internships, i just wasnt able to apply for one this year.

i feel behind and a bit like a failure. the only thing i can credit my name to is being president of a club. i want to rant but ill save that for a therapy session lol.

Thanks in advance!
