My father demands that I go to Medical School instead.
I'm always amused at those kinds of parents. In my experience, the parents are in love with the idea of their child being a doctor and have little idea of how time-consuming, expensive, and competitive it is to get into medical school.

I suggest that you ignore your dad. Med school is not something you should do on your parent's whim - it is YOUR time and effort at stake here. Getting into medical school and sticking with it requires a lot of sacrifice, and since you don't seem to believe you're ready for it, I strongly advise you to stay away.

It might also be good to figure out why your dad wants you to be a doctor. Once you know, you can probably make convincing arguments against his reasoning and for your own career choice.
