What are my chances of Medical School?
Question by : What are my chances of Medical School?
I’m a junior in a respectable public high school. I have a 3.5 GPA with AP classes and a very hard worker. I’m gonna graduate with high honors, but i’m not in the top 20. I am however, in the top 15% of my class. My family has always been in the medical field, but in nursing. I just wanted to know if I would be successful in Medical School. Any help?
By the way, I live in Alabama so I would be going to UAB or South Alabama for med. school. I also would wanna specialize in cardiothoracic surgery.

Keep working hard and you can do it. Nothing to inspirational, just get it done.

already overpopulated. many people are getting surgery who dont need surgery because doctors need to make money. also Doctors are turning into these corrupted people that overcharge medicine.

Sure, you can go to a good undergraduate university, but beyond that – forget about everything you’ve accomplished because it’s largely irrelevant. The only thing from high school that you can really carry over into undergraduate school is your desire to be a physician. If you want it badly enough, you’ll get the grades you need. It’s great to have a master plan and everything, but I can almost guarantee that it will get shaken up. Stay focused, but remember to be flexible if something doesn’t go your way.
