ACK! What a long and dreary plunge into the adult world headfirst!
I had thought our elections over here were bad, but this just sounds brutal. At least your people care something about the election. In any given school in the US (at least in my experience, both as teacher and as student), it's a populartity contest and most of the campaigning is all in fun, more about collecting friends and coming up with neat and expensive gimmicks than real issues. Everyone knew student council and the associated committees were jokes.
The medical school interview sounds like it went fairly well. You really ought to have more confidence in yourself.
