How to get into medical school?

How hard is it to get into medical school, and how hard is medical school?

  • How hard is it to get into medical school? How hard is medical school? I'm thinking of being an orthopaedic surgeon. Do you have to be a complete genius?

  • Answer:

    Getting in is competitive, but if you work hard, get good grades, a decent MCAT score, and show lots and lots of interest, you've got as good a chance as anyone else. No, you definitely don't have to be a genius, but you do need to sacrifice some things and balance studying and school stuff with anything else that you want to do. It's hard in the sense that there is a lot to learn, but most schools are really supportive and will try to help you out. Good luck!

I think it's more important to be willing to study and work very hard than it is to be a "complete genius." You'll have to be a very good student, of course, but I think with the proper attitude and motivation, you have just as much chance of success as anyone else. Medical school should be hard--I wouldn't trust my health to some slacker.
