I want to be an M.D., but I've never been good at school. I believe I have to spend at least two or three-times as much as the top students to achieve their grades. Due to my hard work, however, I was able to pull off a cGPA of 3.91 in my undergrad.
***** Best way to prepare for your classes is to enter your next degree with a clean and healthy mentality. There is usually no need to review your high school science, as most freshman courses are a re-hash of those courses anyway
your ability to sit on your ass day in day out is eventually what will make you a successful medical student, and ultimately, a doctor. So, you're not in a bad position AT ALL :)
I’m in state public DO school. My gpa was 3.8ish and a 30 MCAT.I thought that I would do amazing, but my class rank is below average. People are so smart and efficient in med school. It’s a humbling experience.ER is heating up in competition. It used to be much easier to match ER, but that is the most popular first choice among my classmates. I’m looking into Geriatrics.
I want to be a er doctor as I want to keep improving and have a different work day everyday and help people. I don’t find school easy but remembering the end goal it’s worth it
Ok I don't know if anyone will see this but I go to Boston Latin School, I have to take Chem, Physics, and Bio I'm not really at the right GPA right now rolling with a 3.2 GPA and thinking about going to Boston University: Medical School. My grades are slightly improving, and I think I will have a good gpa in total at senior year. I go to the ER alot and I always hope to one day become one of the doctors there. So just wondering after highschool what do I have to type of 4 year degree do I have to do before going to medical school?
Definitley look into science degrees such as Bio or chem because those are what will prepare you most. I'm a cell an d molecular bio major in my sophomore year and do plan on going to med school.
my father was a pmr doctor and he retired early. he ended up being miserable near the end of his career....not exactly sure why. Anyways, me a doctor? no thanku!
it depends on specialty. surgical specialties are 5+ years, Emergency Medicine is 3-4, Family and Internal Medicine are around 3 years...all depends on your specialty
