Becoming a Physician

Throughout my high school career I have been slacking on my work. 3 out of my 4 years I've just been getting by. Now unrealized that was a very bad idea. I want to become a physician, I just dot know if its possible with the grades I've been getting in high school. What do I do?

Well, you are years away from being a doctor. However, high school isn't really a priority for medical schools. They care most about your pre-requisite courses in college and what you have done to prove your passion in medicine.

I might recommend that you check out this website: https://www.aamc.org/students/aspiring/

It's run by the American Association of Medical Colleges. Anything you want to know about being a doctor is there. It requires a great deal of money, time, and a huge amount of effort in your studies. Not just effort, but results.

Get an attitude adjustment before starting college. Do the best you can, work hard. The grades and MCat score count more than the caliber of the school itself, so although you may not get into a great college, you can still get into med school if you work at it.
