I think you have to realize not getting into medical school doesn’t mean you failed. There are plenty of great applicants who did everything they were supposed to. It’s getting more competitive every year. There is a roll of the dice involved. You applied late and didn’t have shadowing hours. Would you expect to beat a professional tennis player without putting in all the work? And even at that, you won’t necessarily win every match. Taking the MCAT and getting a reasonable score is the real success lol
Sounds like don’t care about not getting into school, you care more about not having a path in life. You’ve got interests and are clearly smart. That’s the accomplishment from thousands of little successes. Give it time and you’ll find a career path
