How do you determine whether you are doctor material?

Midknite,

I have a son in his HS junior year. He is targeting medicine or chemistry engineering. This is what we are thinking:

1) His UG major would be Chemistry.
2) During early Junior, he will take MCAT.
3) If his MCAT is not good enough or if he changes mind, he will transfer or get an MS degree in ChE. An advanced degree in engineering is very much desired in today’s environment.

In your case, you may pursue Physics first if it is less demanding than Aero.
