How hard is med school?

I would say yes. It all depends on your attitude.

There is going to be more studying and less partying overall, but it’s not all awful, even though there are some parts that are truly awful (think internal med rotation, every third night on call, need to go home at 2:00 am and look up info about the cases to present the next day.)

And to all meds students: if you think med school is bad, I hate to tell you but in internship you will be looking back fondly at medical school (assuming you are actually awake) and wonder why you thought it was so bad, lol.

And at times in real life, as a doc, you will also look back on medical school (but not on on internship) and think you really had no clue what the meaning of work was.
